Dozens of infection cases after farm shop petting sessions bbc.in/4jxZV31

Today is the last day of my Wellcome The Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship! I'm thankful for the funding, the past and present members of my lab for all their hard word, WCAIR Univ of Dundee for support, and all of our colleagues... new grant starts tomorrow, stay tuned!

Join us today for our VETPDX Meeting at 12:30 ET where Dr. Nikola Pantchev will present on Cryptosporidium in reptiles! #parasitology #protozoa #AAVP #Reptilemedicine #veterinarymedicine #veterinaryparasitology

❗️Tissue atlas of Cryptosporidium parvum infection reveals contrasts between the natural neonatal calf model and laboratory mouse models❗️ My 1st first-author paper with the Pawlowic Lab Mattie Christine Pawlowic and co-supervisors Frank Katzer & David Smith biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Featuring my favorite (and incredibly useful) Cryptosporidium oocyst made by Nicola Caldwell, lead chemist from our collaboration with the Drug Discovery Unit . 🐏🐮🚱🐚

🎉 Join Us for Parasite Day with PiP 2025! We are thrilled to announce Parasite Day with PEERs in Parasitology (PiP) on June 27, 2025, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm EDT! This virtual symposium will spotlight groundbreaking work in parasitology by scientists from historically excluded backgrounds.

Grateful for the ability to support VEuPathDB. It is fundamental to our lab's daily research activities. We had a few issues initially making the payment, but the team was very helpful. I hope we can come together as field to keep this vital resource!

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! 👇

I'm breaking my self-imposed twitter exile to share this: Very happy to see our work finally out today in Nature. This is the culmination of 6 years of hard work by Alli. Flaminia, and the rest of the team at Harvard, and colleagues at OHSU. nature.com/articles/s4158…

So happy to share the first preprint from our lab on post-transcriptional regulation at the VSG expression-site body in trypanosomes. York Biomedical Research Institute biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I used inducible CRISPR/Cas9 to make Trypanosoma brucei cell line that allowed me to edit originally muti-copy histone gene. We uncovered a novel role of H4 histone tail in gene regulation. I had a great time working on this exciting project! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted our latest paper is now published in Science Translational Medicine. Fantastic collab with Dr Bhambra and his team. Our studies reveal promising quinazolines selectively target KRS in T. cruzi. Dundee LifeSci WCAIR Univ of Dundee science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
