Microbiologist working on Streptococcus pyogenes, #StrepA infection, vaccines, and immunity. PhD. Dog dad.
Is anyone else struggling to find work? I’ve been searching for the last few months, and there’s so few opportunities in my field in and around London, and I can’t just move at the moment. I feel so panicked that if I take a non-science job or if too much time passes, I won’t be able to go back 😵💫

Early life serological profiles and the development of natural protective humoral immunity to Streptococcus pyogenes in a high burden setting
Streptococcus pyogenes leads to 500,000 deaths annually; many due to rheumatic heart disease in low-income settings. Limited understanding of natural protective immunity to S. pyogenes hinders vaccine...

This #StrepA paper was a LONG labour of love from a great team 😊 Equal first & senior author credits buried at the very end, so I want to highlight the critical contributions of Dr Hannah Frost & @njmoreland.bsky.social & Dr Danika Hill @precisionvaxlab.bsky.social rdcu.be/d2gBV
Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis elicits diverse antibody responses to key vaccine antigens influenced by the imprint of past infections
Nature Communications - Streptococcus pyogenes is a deadly bacteria without a vaccine. Here, researchers measured antibodies in serum and saliva from a strep throat human challenge trial. Baseline...

I considered being demure and lowkey about how cute our little Ranni is, but have decided ultimately not to break the habit of a lifetime #shiba

Not entirely sure I want to have an online voice these days, but I do love science, ID, and microbiology (especially streps). In the time-tested tradition, here’s a photo of my new puppy, Ranni, as a placeholder while I figure this thing out.
