I will be supervising a PhD student along with Sheiner lab and Paula da Fonseca. Please consider applying!👇






Our latest attempt to map origins of DNA replication in Leishmania to understand this process in this peculiar parasite. We took a deep dive at the single molecule level, and attempt to address the differing findings reported over the years Jeziel D. Damasceno Centre For Parasitology


Fancy doing a PhD in York, and spending some time in warmer, sunnier Glasgow UofG Sii Centre For Parasitology ? Apply to Joana Faria by January 6th! tinyurl.com/4ad39amd

🆕 | Professor Lilach Sheiner, together with Dr Anita Koshy from UniversityofArizona and the @HelsinkiUni's Dr Alexander Mühleip, has been awarded a @Wellcometrust Discovery grant of £3.3million to investigate the biology of Toxoplasma mitochondria. 🔗 Full story: gla.ac.uk/schools/infect…


WHAT A (RE)TREAT! Alena Zikova Sheiner lab discuss all things #parasite #mitochondria together as a celebration of both lab's 10 year anniversaries 🥳




Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to cause disease. Indeed, common anti-malaria drugs target respiratory enzymes (e.g. atovaquone). But how do the parasite enzymes work and how do drugs inhibit them? Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work to find out! 👇
