Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to cause disease.
Indeed, common anti-malaria drugs target respiratory enzymes (e.g. atovaquone).
But how do the parasite enzymes work and how do drugs inhibit them?
Read @AndrewEMaclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work to find out! 👇

Are you a parasitologist in Scotland?
Are you looking for ways to create a scientific community focused on ECRs in your area?
In this TrendsTalk, we explain how we've done it for SPPIRIT!

Immensely proud to tell you all my first paper of my PhD is out in Nature Medicine now! We wanted to know if the immune response to COVID-19 was distinct in an African cohort (spoiler alert: our data suggest it is!) Give it a read! nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Our latest attempt to map origins of DNA replication in Leishmania to understand this process in this peculiar parasite. We took a deep dive at the single molecule level, and attempt to address the differing findings reported over the years @jezielbqi @WCIPGLASGOW
Nuclear DNA replication in Leishmania major relies on a single constitutive origin per chromosome supplemented by thousands of ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_micrbio
