Another paper hot off the press! Dual proteomics strategies to characterise and compare the venom composition of nine African #snake #venoms . A wonderful collaboration with Louc Quinton's lab as part of the ADDovenom project. @blslancasteruni.bsky.social 🐍🧪 www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/17...

Our review article on progress towards #recombinant #antivenoms for #snakebite is now published at www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
We cover snakebite, methods for #mAb discovery, do a deep dive on mAbs for neurotoxins, and discuss what is needed next to get this from concept to clinic.
Practical progress towards the development of recombinant antivenoms for snakebite envenoming
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions globally each year. In recent years, research into the potential production of recombinant antivenoms, formulated using mi...

Last week I had the great pleasure in hosting the launch meeting of our NC3Rs project grant now known as G.E.M (Galleria Envenoming Model). Our work is focused on developing and validating an alternative model to assess venom lethality and therapeutic efficacy testing.

Our department now hosts two labs with interests in #snakebite – Steve Hall Lab and @menzieslab.bsky.social. Snakebite is a global health crisis that affects millions annually. Conventional antivenom, the only currently available treatment, has severe limitations. #WorldNTDDay #BeatNTDs (1/3)
