❓ How is the flagellum of a single-celled parasite connected to human sensory cells?

❓ Why could it be the key to treating a range of diseases? 👃👀👅👂

Digging into parasite genes already in high school? 🧬

👩‍🔬 MAGDA MARTINŮ, a student at the Masarykovo gymnázium in Příbor, is pushing forward our knowledge of trypanosome flagella.

Thanks to her work, carried out in our lab, we now understand a bit more about the mechanisms of FLAGELLUM ASSEMBLY.

This was quite a week!
Our LAB 🔬 received two grants from the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR). We also submitted another one — a faculty grant.
And on Thursday, our project Vědátortor won a lovely 5th place in the KŘIŠŤÁLOVÁ LUPA awards. 🔎
