We’re coming for you, #COVID19. Proud to work for @TwinsUKres and help in the fight against COVID19 - never did I think I’d be working to set up urgent studies of this kind.
Some positive news- ! just heard that our research funders have offered us pilot funds to rapidly use our amazing 11000 Twin volunteers nationwide and database to help fight the #covid19UK epidemic - more to follow @TwinsUKres @NIHRresearch #CDRF @GSTTnhs

Great to be a part of this APPG. Looking forward to sharing our research with MPs, Lords &Ladies and other members in the next months.
Our comms&engagement manager @SciencePaz is headed to Westminster to join the @appgmicrobiome meeting on the human microbiome and how it affects health. Key research interest for us @TwinsUKres and a very short yet scenic trip from our dept based in St Thomas’ Hospital @gsttnhs
