I am an immunologist identifying new antimicrobial responses in macrophages. My current research focuses on the use of metal ions (Zn & Cu) vs Salmonella infection. Always love to meet new faces and set up new collaborations. 🔬🦠13 Nov 2024 09:28 +0000at://did:plc:bbax7ic6447y3vus64eui2o2/app.bsky.feed.post/3laszutm4ps2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ronankp.bsky.social/post/3l5hrab7jsn2jVery useful !
