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🔬🧫
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 🙌
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 🦠-🦠-🧫
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
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

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 🎓🎉🍾
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!
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

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

Huge congrats to @microberamon.bsky.social for winning a poster prize at #UTIConf2026 for presenting P-FLO, his innovative urine-flow human urothelial model!

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
