An incredibly proud moment, and a nice way to wrap up 2025. I am indebted to the incredibly talented and dedicated VITAL team (pictured) and our commercial partners at Accession Therapeutics for delivering. www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/29...

Thoroughly enjoyed showcasing our work at the annual Infection and Immunity meeting last week 🦠🧫 Huge thanks to the organisers for putting together a great event. A nice bonus to have received the Peter Tomasec award for a poster presentation describing some our work at Wales Applied Virology Unit

July highlights 💫 🗣 Attending the @lswalescddcymru.bsky.social ECR colloquium - a brilliant forum to connect with ECRs from a breadth of disciplines across Wales. Delighted that my abstract was selected for a flash talk, and to be able to present my work in Welsh aswell, which I enjoyed immensely
