On the cover of @MedCellPress - our Phase 2 RCT of alpha-1 antitrypsin for #COVID19. Cool cover illustration! @AlphaFriend @Alpha1_Ireland @RCSI_Irl @stjamesdublin @Beaumont_Dublin @Beaumont_ICU @NUIGalwayMed
New issue! Bringing you a trial of the serine protease inhibitor alpha-1 antitrypsin as an anti-inflammatory therapeutic for patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19, more research on Omicron, and a Commentary on AI in medicine.

ONLINE NOW: McElvaney et al present the results of a randomized trial of alpha-1 antitrypsin for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19. Circulating IL-6 and other pro-inflammatory markers were decreased at one week in the treatment group.

RTs really appreciated, great postdoc opportunity to work at the cutting edge of human respiratory immunology. Closing date September 30th
At Vertex, we’re investigating potential treatments for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. We’re excited to join this week’s #ILC2021 hosted by the European Association for the Study of the Liver alongside experts in the field. Learn more about our #AATD program. @EASLNews

Less than two weeks to go to apply. Interested in a postdoc combining circadian biology, metabolism and respiratory disease, look no further :) Unique opportunity to work between my lab at that of the McElvaney group. RTs most welcome. my.corehr.com/pls/rcsirecrui…
We have a fully funded PhD project available to study neutrophilic inflammation in chronic lung disease. A great opportunity for the right candidate - our lab is friendly and fun. Come and work with @MereteLong @KeirHolly @Shoemelia on a great project! findaphd.com/phds/project/ch…

Check out this CRISPRi toolkit for silencing gene expression in #Burkholderia from Silvia Cardona's lab @cardona_lab. They also putatively identified 67 genera of Proteobacteria that could be modified with this toolkit. A great tool for #microbiologists! hubs.ly/H0lz54T0

Right, the Ireland and Brexit thread. Why the backstop is not annexation, might be undemocratic but that could be negotiated by a mature UK Government, and is required because of history, identity and normal border procedures 1/
