An official new measuring unit for the parasitology community had emerged from this @parafrap.bsky.social #EMBO conference... #shitton @nicolas3474.bsky.social

Fabulous work from @nicolas3474.bsky.social on the protein atlas of the molluscs parasite #Perkinsus @parafrap.bsky.social

Wonderful session on @parafrap.bsky.social parasites pathogenesis chaired by @apicolipid.bsky.social @clarehardinglab.bsky.social

The science at #ParaFrap is exciting and surprising as always - less surprising: who are the last people standing on night #1 ... @freddyfrischknecht.bsky.social @kirkdeitsch.bsky.social

Kick-off of @parafrap.bsky.social #EMBO conference at #LesEmbiez by the wonderful organisers @gloverlab.bsky.social and Benoit Gamain who put together an exciting program about parasite biology, epidemiology and combat.

Our session explored how studying bioenergetics enzymes via structural biology in divergent protist sheds light on the role of these enzymes and their assemblies across eukaryotes and on how they function in the context of each organisms’ specialised needs.

Team bioenergetics in divergent organisms is ready to go! #ICOP25 @macleanlab.bsky.social @lettsscience.bsky.social

@fad1.bsky.social showing us how gene drives will end malaria!!

A first #ICOP25 day 2 highlight: Dayana Salas-Leiva of Ross Waller's lab uses LOPIT to ask not only what makes a symbiotic relationship, but what baggage is left after a break-up. Stay tuned!

Some great models used to study endosymbiosis and what does it take to make a stable relationship:

Ellen Yeh Epithemia diatoms probes the underlying mechanisms of establishing endosymbiosis

First - a vivid discussion about determining the origin and early evolution of eukaryotes following Andrew Roger's talk.
June 23, 2025 at 2:43 AM
#ICOP25 opened today with so many exciting eukaryotic microbe insights 🦠 - you know its gonna be a great one when it starts with a drown video 😉 Stay tuned!!

Other complex III inhibitors are being developed as drug leads for apicomplexan diseases.
Together with Stone Doggett and colleagues at @OHSUNewswe we showed how the drug-lead ELQ-300 binds Toxoplasma complex III and designed a more potent version.

Atovaquone is a clinically used drug for apicomplexan diseases such as #malaria and #toxoplasmosis, but its precise mechanism of inhibition was unknown.
We showed how atovaquone interacts with Toxoplasma complex III and why it is selective to apicomplexan compared to human.

Respiratory complexes form “super-complexes” whose physiological function is debated, and assembly only studied in a few organisms.
We showed that apicomplexan conserved proteins mediate III2-IV supercomplex formation, and that this provides competitive growth advantage.

Inspirational talk from Dr Sharifa Abdulla about how to strike partnerships - think:
What is the problem
Whose problem is it (and therefore)
Who should be engaged in the partnership
April 25, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Excellent to take part in a round table focus on African partnerships within our Glasgow Changing Futures strategy

As Sheinerlab is joining the trend, Chat seem to have known that @macleanlab.bsky.social started his own lab recently and took the executive decision to remove him from the photo 😲😆
March 31, 2025 at 12:03 PM
What a proud moment to see @macleanlab.bsky.social starting his own lab in a few days 🤩
For all of you #ECRs out there thinking who should you work with in your next career stage - contact Andrew think no more!
February 27, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Exciting brainstorming meeting to discuss #emergingchallenges in #Parasitology 💭🎓
Always a fertile & inspirational discussion with @wellcometrust.bsky.social folks in the room 🤩
February 26, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Shoutout to @martacampillo.bsky.social and @abhinay.bsky.social for delivering two of the many excellent and exciting talks at our @uofgsii.bsky.social away day! #ECR #parasitology
