Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Cambridge University Press journal Parasitology is running a special issue on Organoids and Parasites, providing a great platform for spotlighting research in this area.
A genuine pleasure to be involved in this.

Happy International Day for Women and Girls in Science.
We stand upon the achievements of so many great women scientists in our daily lives. Here's to many more to come.
Today is a day to acknowledge the women in my research group, as well as colleagues and collaborators, for their amazing science

Congratulations to our group's PhD student @miriamgarner.bsky.social for leading on a HDRF grant application that we are delighted to report has been successful
This will elevate the host-parasite interactions research we can do using cutting-edge liver models (developed by Miriam!) for liver fluke

Suggesting the 2024 lab motto was "Can you come and look at my organoids?" was well received 😅
Well done team, bravo 👏

I'm new here. I'm a scientist interested in host:pathogen interactions with a view to translating basic research into novel disease interventions.
I develop and apply different organoid types and work on a variety of multicellular worm parasites and single celled protozoan parasites.
