Thank you to Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training for the bursary and Nottm NIHR BRC MSK Surgery Inflammation & Recovery for additional funds to attend the #Microbiome24 conference last week at the Wellcome Genome Campus. Was a great meeting and I made lots of new contacts with many suggestions & comments on my MRes Bioinformatics study.

Obligatory photo holding my bursary certificate and standing by my #microbiome24 conference poster of my MRes Bioinformatics study comparing sequencing techniques of gut microbiome samples from patients with osteoarthritis.

Kudos & thanks to co-authors Dr Joanne Stocks stefan qz Alexander Bennett , funding from Versus Arthritis & Defence Medical Services & support from colleagues at Defence Rehabilitation and all those involved in ADVANCE Study

Interesting presentation by Keri Hainsworth at CBIS Blast & Injury Conference 2024 on pain in F-35 fighter jet pilots. Pain & stress are not related in this group of people. What could we learn from them to help those with osteoarthritis & other chronic MSK conditions? #BCIC24

Was great to present data from our BioMilOA study on Osteoarthritis Biomarkers in Military Personnel CBIS Blast & Injury Conference 2024 and to hear other ADVANCE Study team members Alexander Bennett and Dr Sarah Dixon Smith sharing other latest ADVANCE study updates #BCIC24

The pre-proof version of our paper 'Association of serum biomarkers with radiographic knee osteoarthritis, knee pain and function in a young, male, trauma-exposed population – findings from the ADVANCE Study' is available as open access in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Journals bit.ly/TraumaBiomarke…

"OA is not a progressive ‘wear and tear’ disease, as previously thought, but a heterogenous condition with multiple aetiologies and modulators, including joint damage, abnormal morphology, altered biomechanics, genetics, low-grade inflammation and dysregulated metabolism."

Great opening day of UK Research in Musculoskeletal Epidemiology meeting Keele University 🐿️ #UKRiME

.Dr Stevie Shoop-Worrall discussing how PPPI can input into musculoskeletal research using AI, not just selecting treatment outcome to use. Patients input which best fit model best fits their lived experience and practitioners input into which model is clinically meaningful #UKRiME2024

On behalf of co-investigators Oliver OSullivan, Alexander Bennett, stefan qz and Ana Valdes I was pleased to be able to present result’s from ADVANCE Study’s BioMilOA at today’s UK-RiME conference. Thanks to funding from Versus Arthritis.

Another excellent 2 day #UKRiME Showcase of UK musculoskeletal epidemiology research. Thanks so much to @KayleighJMason and #KeeleMSK for organising and hosting and Versus Arthritis for funding. Looking forward to next year with UoAEpidemiology.

If you are at the basem_uk conference today make sure to catch Oliver OSullivan at 4.15pm presenting some of our results from the Versus Arthritis funded Bio-Mil-OA study which is a sub study of ADVANCE Study specifically investigating OA biomarkers following combat blast injuries.

Thanks for the shout-out OARSI Early Career Investigators ! Important work exploring molecular biomarkers in a young, male, injured ADVANCE Study population to help us to identify OA and pain earlier, enabling targeted interventions.
