@hoopoe_swana presenting an update on our @JlaTbpi project with @PNIResearchUnit today. At our lab day with @PhillipsLab @UCL_NerveEng. Over 700 questions posed by participants on the @LindAlliance PSP- “I’ve got some work to do before the next update” HB. Wonderful work!

Here we used Motor Unit Number Estimation (MUNE) to show PI3Ka accelerates nerve regeneration. This is part of a wider effort developing MUNE (and other biomarkers) to facilitate clinical translation of therapies developed in the lab. @PhillipsLab @PNIResearchUnit

The @JlaTbpi steering group are working hard to finalise the questionnaire which will invite health care professionals and those with lived experience of #brachialplexus injury to contribute to agreeing a #top10 of research priorities. #watchthispace @LindAlliance #commingsoon

During an endoscopy, blood vessels can be difficult to spot with the human eye. @DanStoyanov’s #medicalimaging innovation uses AR to amplify motion of blood flow, making surgery more effective #WEISS

Orthopaedic surgeons are under pressure to “learn on the job”. Dr Rui Loureiro is developing cutting-edge simulation tech, allowing them to practice complex surgery in a safer, low-cost manner and get meaningful feedback. #WEISS

Dr Dean Barratt, explains “#clinicaltranslation of research is a complex and interdisciplinary pursuit” but it’s essential to the #WEISS mission.

See our latest paper on structural and diffusion imaging of peripheral nerves at ultrahigh field strength (7 tesla). So pretty to see individual nerve fascicles! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2997… @OxNeuro @OxfordWIN @UniofOxford @NDCNOxford @Neurodynamics @Cr19Colette
