.ᐣ What can your gut bacteria teach us about fighting infection?
In our next episode of ‘Provox’ the Provost talks to Barclay Williams Professor for Molecular Mucosal Immunology Emma Slack about the microbiome, mucosal immunity, and how the immune system works at our body surfaces.
Professor Slack explains how her research is uncovering the relationship between gut bacteria and host defences, and how this could lead to safer alternatives to antibiotics and new ways to prevent invasive infections such as E. coli and sepsis.

🏯⚕️From Japanese to radiology: the value of studying languages reaches far beyond the classroom.
For Dr Christine Guerrini (MSt Japanese, 2007), learning Japanese wasn't simply about mastering another language. It taught her to question assumptions and see problems from different perspectives – skills she now draws on every day as a radiologist.
In our latest Old Member blog feature, Christine speaks to the Queen's Translation Exchange and reflects on how studying at Queen's shaped an unexpected career path and why she believes language learning remains one of the most valuable investments young people can make.
