Prof Karla Helbig, specialising in innate immunity in viral infection of humans and animals @limsltu.
We love lipids, lipid droplets and all things virus!!
Passionate about training the next generation of scientists!
Excited to share our research on optimizing phospholipids in artificial lipid droplets (aLDs) for better delivery in vivo 🐟 🐭 . Even to the BRAIN 🧠

Kudos to @timetogoz.bsky.social and @ebony-monson.bsky.social for this milestone paper! Superstars⭐

Happy #IWD2025 to all the wonderful women in STEM, and to our male colleagues that support us 👩‍🔬

Diversity is so important in science and I'm very lucky to be part of a group that celebrates this!
