The #CCMBucketHat travelled all the way to Lambaréné in Gabon in September when Leticia Muraro Wildner and Linzy Elton, PhD visited Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné to do a site visit for TB clinical trials!

The #CCMBucketHat made it to ESCMID in #Barcelona to help postdoc Linzy Elton, PhD present our work on carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriales in March (better late than never...!)

It's official! The #CCMBucketHat has now made it to every inhabited continent when postoc Linzy Elton, PhD took it with her to visit Sydney in #Australia (via #Singapore and #Bangkok)! Does anyone have any research going on in #Antarctica? 🤔

The #CCMBucketHat made it to Kingston, Jamaica last week on a trip to run a sequencing workshop at the University of the West Indies. Phylogenetic trees were built and carbapenem resistance genes were found! Here it is at the Bob Marley museum with postdoc Linzy Elton, PhD

We're part of many #tuberculosis #ClinicalTrial studies, and site coordinator Linzy Elton, PhD has made a series of videos to try and dispel the myths about clinical trials! First up, a look at OptiRimox; why (and how) it's run, and why trials are so important!

Next up in our series of videos on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a day in the life of our laboratory scientists looks like! We work with sites all over the world and each trial is different, but with many hundreds of #tuberculosis patients enrolled, it's always busy!

In our final video on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a site coordinator does when they visit each of the labs! Coordinators work closely with the lab teams to help make sure that all work is being done according to the trial guidelines, making the data robust.
