Our paper has finally graduated from pre-print to peer-reviewed, pretty much unscathed, and is out now! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Such a fascinating, albeit terrifying study! In case you didn't see it, the study was also covered in @theconversation.com theconversation.com/a-common-par...

Could the answer to the male fertility crisis be lurking in your cat’s litter tray? Discovery that the world’s most successful parasite can ‘decapitate’ sperm offers a new path to understanding rising infertility among men ✍️ @arthurscottgeddes.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Excited to see our collaborative research featured in the Telegraph! Grateful for the amazing team effort behind it and hopeful it helps raise awareness about toxoplasmosis in men. Thanks @arthurscottgeddes.bsky.social for highlighting our research! www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt... #Toxoplasmosis

It turns out the world’s most successful parasite can ‘decapitate’ sperm. For @telglobalhealth.bsky.social I wrote about the implications of this discovery for our understanding of the male infertility crisis. With thanks to @zahadyv.bsky.social and Bill Sullivan www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

🧵 Ever wondered what Toxoplasma is doing in your brain years after that undercooked steak 🥩 or a sip of contaminated water? Turns out, it's been hiding in your brain 🧠and we finally have a way to spot it. New study just dropped in EMBO Molecular Medicine 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s443...

🚨New Research: Adverse impact of acute Toxoplasma gondii infection on human spermatozoa- The FEBS Journal - febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... Thanks to @mariaefrancia.bsky.social Lab and all wonderful people who collaborate to make this possible. Here below what we found :).

🎉 Finally online 🎉 GRA12, the first identified common virulence factor across Toxoplasma strains and murine subspecies! Check this improved manuscript after reviewers’ helpful suggestions www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to share our study on a major Toxoplasma virulence factor that prevents lytic host cell death. Many thanks to @parafrap.bsky.social for support, constructive reviews and all labs involved: Melissa Lodoen, Hiba El Hajj, @gissotlab.bsky.social, Karine Le Roch Link : rdcu.be/d6m3G

📣New Study Alert! Toxoplasma gondii arrests host cell cycle early p.i. in a MYR1-dependent manner, inducing DNA damage and genome instability. This work unveils new insights into host-parasite interactions and the mechanisms driving cell cycle modulation. rdcu.be/d3IxO #Toxoplasma #CellCycle

Have you ever wondered how knocking out every single gene in the human genome, one by one, might affect your intracellular pathogen of interest? We did, & boy was it a wild ride! Happy to share our preprint discovering the essential host genome for Cryptosporidium - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cryptosporidium is an important public health threat, and it deserves better genetic tools to study it! Here we’ve developed a targeted in vivo CRISPR genetic screen to identify parasite genes required for survival and virulence… www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣📣📣 Come join us and set up your team in the I2BC Cell Bio Dept! You will find great science, diverse topics and models, spacious labs, supportive environment, and fun colleagues. We are a short (train) ride south of Paris. Please DM me with any questions and help us spread the word 🙏

Excited for my first bluesky post announcing TWO openings for tenure track positions in virology! I am chair of the search committee and with a new department head Mike Gale we are in an exciting building phase. Please share with anyone who might be interested: hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/365...

📣 We are hiring! A 3-year postdoctoral position is available to work on 3D lymphoid organ models at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The project aims to develop a lymphoid organ-on-chip model and to apply it to the testing of candidate mRNA vaccines. @pasteur.fr #postdoc #microfluidics #immunology

Hiring! I'm looking for a postdoc in machine learning of spatial single-cell data. Exciting project to develop methods for modelling cellular circuits in disease and regeneration of heart, liver and bone marrow using Xenium data from our lab. tinyurl.com/ymkvk7vn

Interested in tissue immunity in infection, focusing on adipose tissue, brain and immunometabolism?
