Latest News from AIVRT

Always essential to ask, Fake or Fact? The AIVRT outreach team created this useful quick-start guide, developed by AIVRT researchers, to help identify accurate vaccine information. The future of public health starts with public understanding! Empowering Health, One Vaccine at a Time. 😊#VaccinesWork, #HumanlyPossible #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP 📢 🔬

AIVRT is actively addressing the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A key aspect of our mission involves investigating alternative methods for vaccine delivery and administration. North and South, our team of PhD researchers from UCD, QUB, UCC, and TCD are collaborating deeply on this important work. 🔬 😊 #ImmunizationForAll #VaccinesWork #HumanlyPossible #HEA #NSRP 😊

Climate can impact our health! Higher temperatures and severe weather events can lead to a rise in diseases such as malaria and dengue. Vaccines are essential in safeguarding us against these illnesses, ensuring the safety of our communities. 🌱💪 #Vaccines #AMR #ClimateAction #PublicHealth #VaccinesWork #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP

AIVRT is working to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is a threat
to humans, animals, plants and the environment.
It affects us all. To curb AMR effectively, all sectors must use
antimicrobials prudently and adopt other
preventive measures. Together, we can strengthen infection prevention, ensure access to clean water, and promote hygiene practices. It is always important to remember: Antimicrobials: Handle with care! 💊💚 #AMR #OneHealth #HEA #NSRP #AIVRT 🙂 🔬 📢

AIVRT (All-island Vaccine Research and Training Alliance) is always in the lab! AIVRT PhD, Rachel Lapeyre gives a quick insight to the work involved, meticulous research, experimentation, testing, retesting, the deep commitment to tackling antibiotic resistance. A commitment all of AIVRT shares! Every step counts in the journey toward better health solutions. #AMR #VaccineDevelopment #Vaccineswork #HEA #NSRP 🙂 🔬 📢 😊

AIVRT enjoyed a productive Day 2 of our consortium meeting, a change of pace and gears today, with a strong emphasis on intra-group meetings that were reviewing and strategising for upcoming outreach campaigns and future research initiatives, with a lovely lunch organised by our hosts, Prof Miguel A. Valvano & @rachaellbell Thanks again to both of you and the entire Queen's University Belfast team for hosting. Overall, it was another delightful day filled with positive energy, and it was inspiring to hear about each other's progress and achievements. 🔬 📢 👏 😊

A quick group photo in this busy but productive day for the AIVRT research group at Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, Queen's University Belfast! We took a moment to capture the teamwork and energy within AIVRT. Great to have this time together and catch up! Special thanks to Miguel A. Valvano & @rachaellbell for kindly hosting us here! We needed the Tea! ☕ 📸💪#Vaccines #Vaccineswork #ResearchLife #Teamwork #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP

🎉 Exciting day! AIVRT has gathered at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine at Queen’s University, Belfast! UCD, QUB, UCC and TCD all together, in Belfast. It's going to be great to have updates on the latest research discoveries within AIVRT, sharing insights, asking questions, and celebrating the AIVRT passion for research. We kicked off with a quick catch-up over Tea & Coffee and a welcome from Prof. Miguel Valvano, AIVRT North-Lead, QUB! ☺️ 📢 ☕ 🍩 🔬#HEA #NSRP #AIVRT #Vaccineswork #vaccinesresearch

🌍🔬 AIVRT is working to develop new treatments to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Here is a short video from @_fionahills briefly explaining
a petri dish filled with bacteria from hospital patients that have found ways to survive antibiotic treatments! 🦠💊
Bacteria can resist antibiotics in several ways: 1️⃣ Producing enzymes that break down the drug 2️⃣ Pumping the drug out of their system 3️⃣ Mutating their drug targets so the antibiotics no longer work
Without effective antibiotics, we could face a challenging future where common infections become life-threatening. Let's work together to find solutions! 💪 #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP #AMR #PhDResearch #HealthInnovation

Vaccines undergo rigorous testing over many years to ensure they are safe and effective. They play a crucial role in protecting not just individuals but entire communities. Let's celebrate the power of vaccination! 💉✨ #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP
