Congratulations @EbRyhmer. You have made @mrcunitgambia proud 👏. Degree well deserved. Keep flying the flag high.
Join us in congratulating one of our own, a colleague, friend and brother who has successfully defended his PhD thesis last week at the university of Birmingham. His PhD focussed on the effects of the antibiotic vancomycin on macrophage anti-fungal (C. albicans) immunity.

Chronic liver disease from hepatitis B is a leading cause of premature death in sub-Saharan Africa. New research from @gndow & @maud_lemoine has found antiviral therapy can reduce related deaths. 🌍 On #WorldHepatitisDay, they call for urgent action 👇🏾 lshtm.ac.uk/research/units/m…

Thanks @andrewjpage Very insightful discussions on how to improve bioinformatics methods in public health!
Thanks to everyone for coming to the Microbes & Food Safety Bioinformatics Hackathon. The main takeaway is that ChatGPT is coming fast and will fundamentally change how bioinformatics is performed
