We have done a thing!
Check out our new publication in #Science Translational Medicine, which documents the discovery of a broadly neutralising synthetic human monoclonal #antibody for #snake #venom long-chain ⍺-neurotoxin!
To the article: science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…
This week's new issue of Science Translational Medicine has arrived!
A synthetic antibody against deadly snake venoms takes a step toward a "universal" antivenom, a novel antibacterial compound suppresses a dangerous cousin of M. tuberculosis, and more. scim.ag/5Xl

Nice to see that our work is still in news.
@LabVenomics
Venom from snake bites leads to more than 100,000 deaths every year. The antidote 95Mat5 worked well against multiple venoms and protected mice from death; the only exception was the king cobras’ venom. Rohini Subrahmanyam writes.

A synthetic human antibody neutralizes alpha #neurotoxins from deadly snakes such as mambas and kraits in mice—taking a step to a safer, broader #antivenom for snakebites that still kill thousands worldwide. @anaturalist @LabVenomics @scrippsresearch scim.ag/5YQ

Prof. Sunagar explains our work, and why it takes us a step closer to an #Universal snake antivenom 👇
Our paper on the cover of @ScienceTM! What's more, it features my photograph of a cobra from our beautiful @iiscbangalore
This is a collab with Jardine lab at @scrippsresearch, @CSRIatLSTM, et al. Takes us 1 step closer to Universal antivenom for treating snakebite

It was great to see our own, @anaturalist, interviewed on national television, Doordarshan. This was a live call-in program, where he answered questions on venoms, snakebites, and myths associated with snakes.
You can watch this program in Kannada here: tinyurl.com/2l9hefmx
