Come visit us at the BALR stand on the 3rd floor, in the Charities exhibition area at #BTSWinter2024

Delighted to invite UK-based early career fibrosis researchers to the 2025 UK ILD early career investigator network meeting. Generous financial support from Boehringer Ingelheim (no input to agenda) means it's free, with food and accomodation included. We have great speakers1/2

Here's another blog post from @MarthaOld1 about her experience working at @ImperialNHLI with @alisonejohn, on a BALR/@ActionPFcharity summer studentship balr.co.uk/post/balr-apf-sum…
Working in London does have some unexpected benefits. Time to return to the classroom @LondonWelshCCLL , brush up on my Welsh language skills and get to know a whole Welsh speaking community in the middle of London. Operation “be a fluent Welsh speaker” is finally underway. 🏴

📣 Proud to announce the winners of our 2024 Summer Studentships, in partnership with @BALRcommunity. Congratulations Martha Old (@UniofBath), Tam Anh (Rachel) Nguygen (@ucl) who'll be exploring the role that proteins play in driving lung scarring: actionpf.org/news/meet-the-w…

We’re launching our campaign ‘Breathe’ for #PFMonth24
Our video, voiced by @BBCRadio2 DJ @piratejw, who's living with PF, shows the devastating effects of the disease. Contains sensitive content.
Please share so more people can get support: actionpf.org/get-involved/aw…

New paper! we used machine learning to classify people with pulmonary fibrosis based on a blood-biomarker panel and found 3 distinct profiles: clinical differences, stable classes, and supported in Oz registry!
New: Cluster analysis of blood biomarkers to identify molecular patterns in #pulmonaryfibrosis
These findings support the presence of pulmonary fibrosis endotypes with the potential to guide targeted therapy development

I don’t get to be in the lab all that often these days but having lots of MSc students is a good reason to get back in there and check I haven’t lost all my lab skills 🤣. It’s also a great reminder of just how much fun it is to work in a busy lab ! #PIinthelab #MTWCentre

So excited to hear #FutureLeaderFellow @cardiffuni @RenataJurkowska tell us about her lifelong fascination with epigenetics, So likely 2b key factor in alveolar repair & disease. #MTWSeminars. Lecture available at imperial.ac.uk/mtw-centre-fi… @ImperialNHLI

Right now, most long-term lung conditions are detected when there is irreversible damage to the lungs. Being able to intervene before the damage is permanent is crucial and only possible if we #FundRespiratoryResearch: bit.ly/3UtpBTj
Another fantastic day of lung science comes to a close in Dundee but there’s still time for the BALR committee to show the world just how talented they are 🤣 @BALRcommunity

Perfect way to finish day 2 of #BALR2024 with the carnage that is Scottish ceilidh dancing!
@drbunsenhoney @MereteLong @amandatatler @BALRcommunity
A fun trip on the @CalSleeper ends in an early morning arrival into Dundee. Next stop the @BALRcommunity conference for a jam-packed few days of lung science and catching up with friends
Excited to share our new JBC paper. A collaborative effort which saw lead author @jessfcalver moving labs multiple times in 3 years. Thanks to all the co-authors for their contribution and congrats on your first 1st author paper Jess! jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(2…

APF is happy to announce the investment in 2 research fellows! Dr @KevinBinLiu1 from @imperialcollege & Dr @Jennydickens41 from @Cambridge_Uni have been awarded £600k to further unravel the genetics of PF, which'll help to identify new & better treatments: bit.ly/3PKLKuP

I hope that insights gained during my fellowship will have the potential to shed new light on the complex biological processes that become altered in people with PF and to identify new treatments.’
ALT An image of Dr Jenny Dickens with the quote: ‘This funding will be transformational for my research career, providing a springboard to establish a large research programme aiming to understand the triggers of pulmonary fibrosis and develop new treatments.’

The @ActionPFcharity study finder is a great tool, we have listed a new survey for UK patients on air-travel experiences: designed by a brilliant medical student! @ICRemoteMed @ImperialNHLI @patientMpower actionpf.org/research-study/…
