Honoured to have done my first viva as an external examiner yesterday in stunning Granada. What a special experience! Massive congratulations to Dr. @virpc.bsky.social 🎓🎉🍾
Really happy my PhD work has been published! Thank you to all who contributed!
We developed a new microtissue model for bladder cancer and use it to test conventional Mitomycin C chemotherapy and a novel oncolytic virus. @jennyrohn.bsky.social @jinhuigao.bsky.social

Had a fantastic time at #ESCMICGlobal2026 presenting our work on polymicrobial communities in our bladder microtissue model. Really inspiring to be part of such a dynamic and engaging meeting.
We’re hoping to submit a preprint soon. Stay tuned for more 🦠-🦠-🧫
Really grateful to be part of this amazing community. The conference has been absolutely fantastic, with incredible science, thoughtful discussions, and a great reminder of why we do what we do. Cherry on top: the poster award! 🎉
@globaluti.bsky.social 🙌
Unsurprisingly an amazing talk from @nicoledenisco.bsky.social on urobiomics 🦠🧬
rUTIs go beyond UPEC (~50% polymicrobial!), with the urobiome shaping disease, from protective Lactobacillus to distinct metabolomic signatures predicting relapse!!!
Excited 🎉 to receive The Urology Foundation Innovation & Research Award 2026. We want to answer a simple question: does flow matters in UTIs?
We will investigate how bacteria sense and respond to urinary flow, and how shear stress shapes host-pathogen interactions in a microtissue bladder model🔬🧫
I might be biased but @jennyrohn.bsky.social absolutely crushed her talk 🥳 at #ESCMIDGlobal2026 🦠🧫 human bladder microtissue model to investigate how novel antimicrobial therapies and fluid dynamics affect UPEC survival!
Despite its worldwide prevalence, research about #UTI is sparse here at #ESCMIDGlobal2026. But managed to find a concentrated mini-population of researchers at the poster session niche—enriched for the London strain, but quite a small sample size, p values not reaching significance! #UTISky #IDSky
Its been umpety-ump years since I’ve actually presented a poster myself, but @microberamon.bsky.social had so much data we needed multiple posters! Needs must. Sorry Ramón if I get anything wrong! #UTICONF2026 #UTISky
Next, 4 posters about a wide variety of great stuff - bladder flow modelling, phage therapy, catheter UTI, virulence mapping, and the gut/bladder axis @murraybeno.bsky.social @microberamon.bsky.social @nickyuen.bsky.social @fratorelli.bsky.social

My final talk at #ESCMIDGlobal2026 was, fittingly, @microberamon.bsky.social sharing his beautiful work with polymicrobial infections in our 3D urothelial model - brilliant presentation! #UTISky
Huge congrats to @microberamon.bsky.social for winning a poster prize at #UTIConf2026 for presenting P-FLO, his innovative urine-flow human urothelial model!
