Our latest paper exploring how CRISPR knockout screening can identify how #snake #venoms kill cells. We used this to identify heparinoids as effective blockers of tissue damage caused by spitting cobras after snakebite.

Spitting cobra venom cytotoxins cause tissue damage through a common heparin-sensitive mechanism.

Very excited to be taking part in this year’s Royal Society pairing scheme and spending the next week in Westminster! #PairingScheme24
Swapping pipettes for policy: next week the Royal Society's #PairingScheme will kick off for 2024, as 30 UK scientists join politicians and civil servants in Westminster, getting behind the scenes insights into how policy is formed. #PairingScheme24

Read this article, co-written by LSTM PhD student Camille Abada for @ConversationUK, about the discovery of the 95Mat5 antibody, which has huge potential as a game-changing treatment for snakebite envenoming. ⬇️ #Research
theconversation.com
We’re still using century-old technology to make snake antivenom. A method fit for the 21st century is on the horizon.
