Delighted to see our work published. Read about our recent study @unibirmingham below and how we hope to translate this to a new treatment for the prevention of stomach cancer.
The discovery of 'leaking' bacteria across stomach lining in pre-cancer could be the missing link in #GastricCancer development, according to @unibirmingham researchers. The study opens an exciting new avenue of research into preventing #StomachCancer. ➡️

Asking for a friend, obviously, but at what point in time did the term 'descriptive' become a bad thing? Must mechanism always define importance?.

I am a very proud supervisor of @SammiMcKeand. You handled your PhD project like a Pro @IMIBirmingham. A really interesting story on the role of IgG2/IgG3 antibody in serum resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Thanks to all the co-authors!
