Used to be funny, now I make parasites kiss. Postdoc @SaterialeLab @TheCrick figuring out how small tubes (like Cryptosporidium) infect bigger tubes (our guts).
we must be able to revisit -and learn from- our past, in order to truly be excellent to each other and party on dudes, thanks for coming to my bill and ted talk
Honoured to be invited to speak at this symposium at the Institut Pasteur in Paris! Can't wait to meet old friends and make new ones in the parasite field 😊
Come and join us for the exciting Future of Parasitology symposium @PIV_IP@institutpasteur with keynote lectures by Maria Yazdanbakhsh @LUMC_Leiden and Peter Myler @seattlechildren, and plenty of young scientists! Free registration! #parasitology

It's a GRA12 world and we're just living in it! We performed CRISPR screens to identify conserved virulence factors across Toxoplasma clonal and atypical strains and the top hit is a͟l͟w͟a͟y͟s GRA12! and, for the first time, in all mouse subspecies!thread👇https://t.co/ZTGOjefzVw
I was lucky to have attended the inaugural (and very inspiring) Cryptosporidium meeting earlier this year, and really enjoyed contributing to this piece about the session on host-parasite interactions, my favourite thing 😊
Dietary & immune driven defense against Crypto. @MuraliMaradana@ghostpathogen@SaterialeLab discover that intestinal immune cells relying on AHR defend against #Cryptosporidium. Diet sup. w/AHR ligands enhances anti-cryptosporidial activity of these cells https://t.co/kS33wC4a6t
@devarajan_priya Priya!! Thank you! I know, it's totally wild. Although I remember thinking you were the smartest out of all of us, so it makes sense that you're an immunologist now. (I'm just pretending to be one...) Would love to catch up next time I'm in the US :)))
Very happy this work is finally out! ☺️ We found some very interesting things about Crypto (the parasite), intraepithelial lymphocytes (first-line gut defenders) and maybe even a potential treatment for this problematic pathogen. Read the article or my linked tweetorial for more!
It's finally out! Our story on Crypto, AHR, and dietary indoles is in the December issue of CHM. We are particularly excited about our study's findings on using I3C as a potential anti-Cryptosporidial prophylactic.
