In my series of #MedEducation this week I bring to your attention a group of diseases so neglected that they have been named "Neglected Tropical Diseases" 1 in every 5 people globally is affected yet they continue to receive no attention #WednesdayMotivation #WhatsApp 1/4

In case you missed it! We're excited to offer three brand new #fundedPhD opportunities based at University of York focusing on immunology, specifically #cancerbiology and #bacterialsepsis. Applications close on 21 Feb. Find out more 👉 hyms.ac.uk/postgraduate-r…

#PREV_PKDL, EVI-coordinated project, joins forces with CREDO to strengthen immunology research capacity in East #Africa. Colleagues at Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale (INRB) 🇨🇩 will participate in flow cytometry training programme provided by PREV_PKDL partner University of York.

Fantastic progress on a leishmaniasis vaccine from the Kaye lab York Biomedical Research Institute. All the more disheartening that the UK government has made such savage cuts to GCRF/Newton funded research on leishmaniasis. cell.com/molecular-ther…

I'm delighted that we have a new Wellcome Trust Investigator award to study the interplay of phosphorylation and ubiquitination in Leishmania differentiation. Thanks to Jeremy Mottram members, collaborators, York Biomedical Research Institute Biology at York Prof Paul Denny. Onwards yorkleish.org
