An incredible honour to receive the Outstanding Clinical Science Poster Award at the Global PCD Conference 2026! Huge thanks to @PCDFoundation, @beatpcd & @ErnLung and to the legendary Dr Magee Leigh for presenting me with the award.

What should be the next target ? 1000 followers ?

Will never not get excited about great images of cilia! I wonder the PCD-causing gene involved. The beat pattern looks quite unusual and some cilia also seem to disappear, so I’m curious about how much of this is related to the imaging/reconstruction versus the biology.

Researchers from @uni_muenster and @harvardmed have identified a previously unknown transition zone linker whose defects cause structural and functional abnormalities in motile cilia—revealing a new genetic mechanism underlying PCD: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

We are live for the Global PCD conference 2026 highlights organized by @PCDFoundation and recording will be available shortly after the webinar. @Shoemelia @RunningOnO2

After 2.5 months with the editor, my Manuscript paper has finally been rejected without peer review..

A busy #ERSCongress2026 for BEAT-PCD! From our 60–65-strong Management Committee meeting to PCD posters, oral presentations, guidelines on diagnosis & nasal NO screening, and a dedicated PCD symposium - plus a great chance to connect with colleagues from around the world.

@Shoemelia - wonderful and captivating talk about airway inflammation and mucociliary function and new therapies - 😍😍😍😍how do they work from translational science perspective

Congratulations to @erin_cant for presenting her poster on our work investigating cilia function in bronchiectasis as part of an @EMBARCnetwork study at #ERSCongress2026 ! Great to see this important work being shared. Well done, Erin! 👏 @dundeeuni @Shoemelia @ProfJDChalmers

For those attending the ERS conference, we're having an informal meet up on Monday at  12.30 at the bronchiectasis pavilion - our chairs and members of our management committee will be there, come and join us!

Together with ClinGen, we’ve just updated the list of PCD-associated genes on our site: beat-pcd.squarespace.com. It’s growing so check back often for new additions!

What an incredible weekend at XENOM London 2026 It was a real privilege to be part of the judging team throughout the whole weekend, judging some seriously impressive elite athletes and giving back to the CF community. An awesome experience with an amazing crew (team echo).

[Reminder] The BEAT-PCD meeting during the ERS conference will take place on Saturday, 5th September 2026, 14:00 to 16:45 CET, in Room 3.12, (Theatre Room), Hall CC3 at the conference centre. The meeting is open to a broader audience (registration to the conference mandatory).
