An inspiring afternoon session at #SHIMR2025 Symposium. Chaired by Dr Marion Hogg, the session began with Professor Tom Wishart offering a look into the proteomic profiling of #synapses, exploring how molecular vulnerability might shape #neurological stability. #SHIMR_NTU @ntuneuro.bsky.social

New preprint from @mohamedeladawy.bsky.social This represents the main body of work from Mohamed's thesis. He's carried out the largest study, to date, on G-ve (11 different genera) CAUTI-associated bacteria in Egypt. #UTIsky #Microsky #AMR It's been a pleasure to supervise Mohamed's PhD studies.
