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

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

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 😊

[Bastin Lab @BastinLab_Paris]

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

@ab1nay We miss having you around but so excited for your new journey!

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

So happy to see this incredible work on conserved Toxo virulence factors out! Waiting for @prancitorelli to return to London so we can celebrate 🥳

[Francesca Torelli @prancitorelli]

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

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@prancitorelli Yesss! Go Francesca 🎉 Your love of Toxo cannot be contained!

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@DrKatelynWalzer @Nature Awesome! Great to see it out 🎉

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@jo_c_young Thanks Joanna!!

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

Very grateful and excited to be a part of the Leading Edge community! ☺️ Can't wait to learn and grow from these incredible people.

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@SaterialeLab Thanks to very supportive lab members and PI 😁

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@KStapornwongkul Aw thanks Kristina :))

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@StephanieNofal Thanks Steph!! Can't wait to see you soon

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@DrKatelynWalzer Thank you! ☺️

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@SenyoBotchie Thanks Senyo :)

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

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 😊

[Trends in Parasitology @TrendsParasitol]

In this TrendsTalk, the #Cryptosporidium2024 session chairs highlight the innovative research and discoveries presented during the first biennial #Cryptosporidium meeting @pennvet organized by @striepenlab & @KingOfPathogens.

@KevinWNg thanks Kevin!!

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

it me! honoured to be published in CH&M, and to be finding a home in the #parasitology community

(now find me on 🔵🌤️ :D)

[Cell Host & Microbe @cellhostmicrobe]

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

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@prancitorelli @MuraliMaradana aw thanks Francesca! our alternate title was "deck the halls with boughs of broccoli!" :P

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

@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 :)))

[Bishara Marzook @ghostpathogen]

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!

[Sateriale Lab @SaterialeLab]

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.
