Save the date!
The 4th SPPIRIT ECR Symposium is happening on 31st October 2025 at the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh.
Join us for a *spooktacular* day of research, networking, and community building with fellow parasitology ECRs.
More details coming soon!

[Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases @Can_NTDs]

Today is #WorldChagasDiseaseDay! Up to 100 million people are estimated to live at risk of Chagas Disease - an NTD primarily found in the Americas. Let's continue to improve access to diagnosis, treatment & comprehensive care for the people affected to ensure #healthforall.

Delighted to have been part of this great work driven by Marketa Novotna in the Horn lab, showing the power of precision editing to study the direct role of histone modifications on gene expression regulation! 👌🏻

@CosentinoRaul @Nature Congratulations 🥳

[Raul Oscar Cosentino @CosentinoRaul]

Thrilled to share with you our latest work im @Nature ! 🥳 We shed light on the antigenic selection mechanism of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei! Check it out! https://t.co/FGGBta4wWY

[Gustavo Campagnaro @campagnarogd]

Happy to see this published in @FEBSJournal. We tried to shed some light on how Leishmania parasites use amino acids, particularly proline and glutamate, as energy sources https://t.co/wIsOuw4x6O @CruzKaysel58732 @fmrp_usp

[Prof Sam Kariuki, BVM, MSc, PhD, DSc (Hons, LSTM) @EADirectorDNDi]

Are you an early career scientist, or interested in mastering the process of drafting, submitting, and finalizing scientific manuscripts?

Go on and register for this @DNDi workshop which will help you communicate your #research more effectively. 🔗https://t.co/cotdvbg2Kk

[Stephen Doyle @stephenrdoyle]

Are you based in South America and work on helminths?

Join me & a great group of instructors on the Helminth Bioinformatics course in Montevideo during 18–24 May!

We'll cover expenses, you just need to come, interact, and learn.

Please share & apply!

@jezielbqi @McCulloch_Group @emmabriggs6 @scotomorph @MarquesCata Congratulations! 🎉🎉

[Jeziel D. Damasceno @jezielbqi]

Excited to share our latest work on R-loops and RNAse H1, exploring their roles in genome replication timing and stability. It’s now published!

[Max Planck Society @maxplanckpress]

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. https://t.co/SkU2JVisuu @PNASNews -> https://t.co/GZKmXombKN #ScienceCareer

[preLights @preLights]

Extra, extra! Read the latest on how journalists interpret and report on scientific research 📢📰

Read this collaborative #preLight from @isabellaclsci @jablack18 @NathSristilekha @b_d_maier @ShreyaPrmnk & Ryan covering work from @LaurenMaggio & team⬇️👀

[PEERs in Parasitology (PiP) @PiParasitology]

📢Parasite Hour with PiP is back. Please join us on Friday 19th at noon EST for @sara_spereira's talk. She is a parasitologist passionate about trypanosomatids who started working on Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, & moved to African trypanosomiasis.

[preLights @preLights]

We are pleased to launch #spotLights, an interview series featuring the #ECRs behind exciting new #preprints.🎙️

@bruvellu @mpicbg is our first guest – he talks about the story behind his recent work on the cephalic furrow.

Listen below or on our website!

[TrypChrOMICs lab @JuliaCu74653164]

Here, we found that virulence genes in non-syntenic trypanosomatid regions have lower nascent transcription than the rest of the genome.

[TrypChrOMICs lab @JuliaCu74653164]

After a long silence while we were busy finishing some work, our group is excited to share that we've posted three new articles on BioRxiv. In the next few days, I'll give a quick summary of each here.
