Have a look at the first complete Trypanosoma in vitro cell atlas: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…. T. cruzi is a weird parasite, the genome a mess, transmitted by the "kissing bug" although it poohs on your eyelid and we are still missing good drugs. Maybe our work can make a difference
Congrats!
Our cryptosporidiosis drug discovery work featured in @FarmersWeekly 🐄: fwi.co.uk/livestock/youngsto…
@DDU_Dundee @UoDLifeSciences @WCAIRDundee
Very cool! Congrats on this impressive work!
🚨🔬Excited to share our new paper now out in @NatureMicrobiol!
Using Tn-seq + live imaging in engineered airway organoids, we explored the fitness tradeoffs P. aeruginosa faces while growing and surviving antibiotic treatment on the mucosal surface.

Our latest research on #LRRK2 has just been published in Nature Immunology with @SpringerNature where we show important negative data that this kinase important in #IBD is not expressed and not needed for Paneth cell lysozyme regulation. @mrcppu Read here: rdcu.be/dWnwq
Congrats on this cool work - exciting to see it in print!
Did you ever wonder about olfaction and anosmia in animals.
Why do worms love some odors and avoid some.
Here is us chasing C elegans in the wild and their microbiome. Dig in if you have time ( you may find Leucine and an olfactory GPCR within).

Congrats to all the authors of this very cool paper- I feel lucky to have been involved, even if only in a very tiny way :)
Thanks to first authors Maud and Amanpreet @APC82236815, and to all the collaborative help we got from so many labs- Julian Pardo lab @iisaragon @jay_salsa @Edelblumlab @slow_going @Andersonbuglab, and to @Wellcome for funding @mrcppu @UoDLifeSciences
Had a fantastic time at the Glasgow Microbiology Collective symposium- thanks again for the invitation and it was great to hear about cool microbiology happening around Glasgow!

Congrats on this cool work! Impressive genetics and microscopy in such a difficult organism...
So excited to share @BacchettiRoss PhD work on COWPs! With lots of contributions from other lab members. We hope you especially enjoy all the microscopy! Thanks principally to @wellcometrust for supporting this work. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
