Thanks to everyone who participated in the @veupathdb workshop last week- it was our biggest workshop to date! ✏️In case you missed it, all materials (lectures + exercises) are now publicly available for asynchronous use: https://t.co/RhDVwnIdMw
🚨 Save the Date - BSP Specialist #Kinetoplastid meeting in Czechia! 🚨
- 𝟭-𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
- #Trypanosoma & #Leishmania biology and epidemiology
- More details to come at https://t.co/wzbvDf9MXK
- Mini-symposium to celebrate Prof Alan Fairlamb's achievements!
Being cartographers of parasite surfaces, at molecular, functional and fitness levels, we’ve enjoyed reading this series of papers on data collection to atlas integration and beyond.

A fantastic start for a 4-year postdoctoral fellowship.
The scheme is a pilot, closed for this year, but more information can be found here: https://t.co/9iFMY78ksR
@BakariSoale & Cat are enjoying the Career Development Fellowship welcome event at the @royalsociety: 3 days of science talks, networking workshop, library tours, video interviews and delicious vegetarian meals.
32 years after the discovery of ISGs, we are finally gaining a better understanding of its role as a C3 receptor and interactions with innate immunity. The cryo-EM structures were fantastic! And so were the French madeleines Cat brought in. Thank you, Alex!
We very much enjoyed Alex Cook’s visit yesterday. He shared with us his latest work with @ParasiteMatt
and Mark Carrington on the mechanisms by which ISG65 and C3 recognise and interact with each other. Check his piece in Trends below.
Congratulations to Majeed! He’s been awarded a Royal Society Career Development Fellowship to decode the mechanism of antigenic variation in Trypanosoma vivax.

Applications for the Royal Society's Career Development Fellowships open next week on 24 September. This scheme aims to support the retention in STEM of researchers from underrepresented backgrounds. If you're interested in applying, sign up to our upcoming webinar for prospective applicants: #RSGRants https://t.co/EnLKbUGkN5
Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: https://t.co/YNX4KBuIxV
Yet another dull day in the boring life of some research scientists. Epic end of conference party at #mpm2024. If your parties are not like this you are in the wrong field and should study parasites!
Woods Hole triple bill for the GadLab: #KMCB2024, #MPM2024 and sandwiched in between @YIPS_2024. We presented the latest in DRiF-Seq technology, its applications in quorum sensing, and how we’ve tamed Trypanosoma vivax into a model system.
Yesterday @gina_amensah completed the one million step challenge over the summer to fundraise for diabetes research. Check out her page: https://t.co/XMLeLYla9r
🚨 2 PhD opportunities - Trypanosoma, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) 🚨
- MSc or equivalent required
- 2 PhD opportunities in the lab of Prof. Dr. Isabel Roditi on the ECR funded Tryptaxis project
- Starting Nov '24 or by arrangement
- Details of posts attached.
Delighted to share our preclinical data on an improved blood-stage #malaria#vaccine candidate targeting RH5 now published @CellRepMed. Congrats to Lloyd King @UniofOxford and big thanks to our generous collaborators and partners. https://t.co/dpjpyX0d5W
