Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you have ever wanted to know "Where is the gut is the parasite?" this pre-print is for you. 🐮 Led by Peyton, with thanks to our wonderful collaborators at @moredunfoundation.bsky.social Frank Katzer, @geordieparasit.bsky.social and EMs by @lemgruber.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tissue atlas of Cryptosporidium parvum infection reveals contrasts between the natural neonatal calf model and laboratory mouse models

Cryptosporidium is an apicomplexan parasite that causes diarrhoeal disease. The species C. parvum is zoonotic and causes significant morbidity and mortality for both humans and farm animals; most comm...

Happy International Day for Women and Girls in Science. We stand upon the achievements of so many great women scientists in our daily lives. Here's to many more to come. Today is a day to acknowledge the women in my research group, as well as colleagues and collaborators, for their amazing science

Congratulations to our group's PhD student @miriamgarner.bsky.social for leading on a HDRF grant application that we are delighted to report has been successful This will elevate the host-parasite interactions research we can do using cutting-edge liver models (developed by Miriam!) for liver fluke

Hi everyone! We are SPPIRIT, a Scottish ECR network created by a group of postdocs, research fellows, and PIs motivated to develop and strengthen the parasitology community in Scotland. Follow us for research highlights, training opportunities, Workshops and much more!

Suggesting the 2024 lab motto was "Can you come and look at my organoids?" was well received 😅 Well done team, bravo 👏

We have a very basic starter pack!! If you work on 3D biology and organoids broadly defined and want to be included, leave a comment below go.bsky.app/QeDg2YD

I'm new here. I'm a scientist interested in host:pathogen interactions with a view to translating basic research into novel disease interventions. I develop and apply different organoid types and work on a variety of multicellular worm parasites and single celled protozoan parasites. Hi!
