The symposium to celebrate Mark Carrington's career is coming soon. You have until 15th to book in. A great day of science, particularly if you are excited about kinetoplastids! And a day of celebration.
The survey asked users to estimate the impact on their lab's productivity (from 0-100) if VEuPathDB resources were to disappear altogether. We also asked them to describe the impact. ✏️The infographic shows a few key themes that emerged from nearly 1500 comments!
Our MSc in Tropical Disease Biology will give you the opportunity to delve deeper into the science of #parasitology, #microbiology, host-pathogen interactions, disease vectors and the pathogens they transmit.

It is a great honour to invite you to a symposium to celebrate the career of Mark Carrington. An exciting set of talks for anyone fascinated by trypanosomes!
Tsetse flies are the cyclical vectors of African trypanosomes.
To separate the sexes is a major goal for tsetse management programmes with Sterile Insect Technique.
This automatic sorting machine can do that!

New science from Richard Zhou... When our blood cells lyse, they release haemoglobin, which is dangerous to our body. We detoxify this by binding it to a serum protein, haptoglobin and taking it up into macrophages, using the receptor CD163. Richard showed how CD163 works!
It's been an honour to take over from LSTM and keep this tsetse colony going at @roslininstitute. The @DrLiamMorrison group has some very exciting research plans for 2025!

Fancy a sneak peek into Leishmania’s unusual DNA replication programming? At @McCulloch_Group we used D-Nascent to map origins & forks at the single-molecule level, revealing novel, abundant replication initiation events across its plastic genome. See links below👇
