Beautiful study by @macleanlab.bsky.social and co 👏👏 Perfect addition to holiday reading list! 🎉🎁

Why do we care? Because very little information is available for proteins found in #parasites, despite parasites causing a third of the total global burden of human #disease (!!!) #MPM2025 @parasitesrule.org 2/2 More about this problem is explained nicely here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Save the dates!! @bspparasitology.bsky.social Spring Meeting 2026 will be in Bonnie Glasgow! 7-9 April 2026, with a drinks reception in Glasgow City Chambers on the 6th of April 2026! Keep an eye on the BSP website for registration and abstract submission! Logo by @shannaraeilean.bsky.social! 🦟

Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to infect and spread. Effective anti-malaria and ani-toxoplasmosis drugs target respiratory complexes (e.g. atovaquone)! But how do the parasite complexes work and how do drugs inhibit them? Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work on this! 👇

Happy to have contributed to this wonderful study about #Toxoplasma #supercomplex led by @macleanlab.bsky.social, @sheinerlab.bsky.social and Alex Mühleip. Parasite mitochondria never cease to amaze! Please go checkout 👇

A GRIP-ing and Tryp-ing seminar tomorrow - Joana Faria from the University of York! 2 pm (GMT) | 3 pm (CET) | 9 am (EDT) Link - uofglasgow.zoom.us/j/8897218018... Passcode: 987702

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 😲😆

It was a pleasure! Thanks for visiting and the wonderful talk.

GRIP-ing seminar this Friday from André Schneider from University of Bern. Don't miss it! Link: uofglasgow.zoom.us/j/8255427338... Passcode: 984619

🏅 | @uofgsii.bsky.social's Professor Lilach Sheiner (@sheinerlab.bsky.social) was recently awarded the prestigious C.A. Wright Medal by the @bspparasitology.bsky.social for outstanding contributions to the discipline. Congratulations, Professor Sheiner! 🔗 Full story: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infe...

Thanks to the organisers for #EMBLRBP meeting! Can’t wait for day 3 to begin! Come to poster #148 to hear about how the most successful parasite might use RBPs to steal from you! The perfect poster to get you in the mood for @shikhas.bsky.social to dazzle you with some funky mitoribosomes @6:30PM!

Woohoo 🥳 So excited for you Andrew! Congratulations 🥂🎉

Our Jan issue highlights @sppirit-network.bsky.social connecting #Scottish #parasitology #ECRs, written by R. Edgar @jackhanna.bsky.social @marketanovotna.bsky.social @martacampillo.bsky.social @mukul1190.bsky.social @shikhas.bsky.social @vfrank.bsky.social & M.Ridgway www.cell.com/trends/paras...

Lovely work from @shikhas.bsky.social et al. 😍

Thrilled to have this out now! Go checkout our paper about the crazy #Toxoplasma #mitoribosome. Huge thanks to co-authors, collaborators and everyone involved 🙌

Welcoming place, exciting project, wonderful mentor! What are you waiting for?

Excellent start to the year with @sloanmegan.bsky.social paper being accepted! Watch this space......

Interested in doing a PhD in parasitology? Lots of great projects available at the University of Edinburgh through the EastBio DTP (number 5 looks especially interesting…).
