Finally, huge thanks to the @snsf.ch for believing in this journey — from postdoc to PI.
Can’t wait to build the lab, the science, and the next generation of parasite biologists.

An absolute diamond of cell biology work. Congratulations 🎉 to all authors #UExM #Parasitesrule #CellBiology #Cilia
Our collaboration with @mbonhivers.bsky.social is now out in @plosbiology.org! 🎉Using U-ExM, we mapped the formation of the flagellar pocket collar in T. brucei. Huge thanks to everyone involved — one step closer to #PhDone!

The flagellar pocket collar (FPC) is a cytoskeletal structure essential for nutrient uptake & immune evasion in #Trypanosome. @mbonhivers.bsky.social &co use U-ExM to provide novel insights into FPC biogenesis, and reveal 2 unknown cytoskeletal structures @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3bWi6

Ever wonder how Leishmania survives in a sand fly’s gut?
We just dropped a preprint where we CRISPR’d our way through the parasite’s transporter genes—and found the VIPs that keep it alive in its insect host. 🧬🦟

Identification of transporters essential for survival of Leishmania promastigotes in the digestive tract of sand flies
Leishmania amastigotes ingested by female phlebotomine sand flies are exposed to a harsh and dynamic environment, markedly different from that of their mammalian host. Within the sand fly s alimentary...
