A massive thanks to three of my PhD students who, yesterday, presented to my Masters level module in Infection and Immunity. All three did an amazing job covering their PhD research. @coreyasteele.bsky.social Mia and Michela rocked it for #TeamFluke 🍂 @aberdlsagb.bsky.social

Finally, we had Emma Barnard on using ‘Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability (DARTS) as a method of evaluating glutathione transferases (GST) as drug targets within Fasciola hepatica'. #TeamFluke …you did great, even though I scuppered this project with the quality of my pronase! #Sorry
