Monoclonal antibodies offer hope for tackling antimicrobial resistance

15 January 2025

A team lead by researchers at the University of Cambridge has developed a monoclonal antibody drug, using a technique involving genetically engineered mice, that may help prevent infection from Acinetobacter baumannii , a bacteria associated with hospital-acquired infections, which is particularly common in Asia.

Early career researchers win major European funding

15 January 2025

Nine Cambridge researchers are among the latest recipients of highly competitive and prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grants. Of 3,500 proposals reviewed by the ERC, only 14% were selected for funding – Cambridge has the highest number of grants of any UK institution. ERC Starting Grants – totalling...

AI able to identify drug-resistant typhoid-like infection from microscopy images in matter of hours

15 January 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that an algorithm could be trained to identify drug-resistant bacteria correctly from microscopy images alone.

Long COVID linked to persistently high levels of inflammatory protein: a potential biomarker and target for treatments

15 January 2025

SARS-CoV-2 triggers the production of the antiviral protein IFN- γ , which is associated with fatigue, muscle ache and depression. New research shows that in Long COVID patients, IFN- y production persists until symptoms improve, highlighting a potential biomarker and a target for therapies.
