Congratulations!

Thank you so much @fightforsightUK @RCOphth for supporting this work, and early career researchers more generally. It makes all the difference for clinicians to have some funded research time to answer questions that matter to our patients

December is usually a quiet month for trial recruitment, but not for ASTUTE! We had our best recruiting month, with 16 new patients enrolled into the trial. Amazing end to the year, lets hope 2023 can bring more of the same #Research #Uveitis @andrewdick4 @s_m_sharma

1/ Based on the inspiring work from @TaurVil @LB_Barreiro on the Black Death and evolution at immune loci, we have a new short report out, looking at one of the loci they identified in more detail! It is SUPER interesting (I promise) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Research by @jonas_kuiper et al, recently published in Ophthalmology Science has revealed a serum protein signature that correlates with #neutrophil levels which was highly predictive for immune modulatory therapy use in noninfectious #uveitis edu.nl/ggfev Great work!

It was thoroughly enjoyable, forward thinking and thanks to all the great speakers

Wonderful session on #Uveitis today at the 105th Oxford Ophthalmological Congress featuring @andrewdick4 @lolaeyedoc @Denniston_Ophth and Athimalaipet Ramanan. Fantastic talks focused across imaging, biomarkers and avoiding harms from systemic steroids. Glad to be able to join!
