Very proud of our new Trends in Parasitology review on the complexities of ApiAP2 regulation in Plasmodium falciparum. Building on the legendary reviews by Heather Painter (2010) and Michaela Petter (2019)!! cell.com/trends/parasit…

One of the many thing I love about #NDiSTEM2024 is the opportunity to catch up with my mentors, including Dr. Arnaldo Díaz who have helped navigate academia and achieve my career goals 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Terrific Global Paraitology Seminar by Rita Tewari on Plasmodium cell division this Monday 11/11 12pm ET via upenn.zoom.us/i/91485597704 British Society for Parasitology Women In Malaria Trends in Parasitology Aust Soc for Para parasitesrule ASP-Parasitologists Société Française de Parasitologie Women In Parasitology

Looks like the PennVet Cryptosporidium team will use yet another star researcher. Don't miss to tune into this to learn about Breanne's marvelous thesis work on T cell responses to Cryptosporidium.

📢 In one month, VEuPathDB is hosting a FREE virtual workshop! Dec 11-13, 2024, 3 hours per day. Short lectures & hands-on exercises will help you make the best use of our vast resources to enhance your research. Details/registration: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

We are still recruiting postdoctoral fellows! We are looking for individuals interested in human pathogens and their response to antifungals. An NIH R01 fully funds this project. This project involves genetic, cell biology, microscopy, and proteomics approaches! Please RT 🙏🏽

A gentle reminder: Our Protozoan Researcher Community Meeting is coming up next week! We hope to see you there for an open discussion of our status and plans, with plenty of time for Q&A. Please register for a zoom link: upenn.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

In case you missed it, here is a recording of today's VEuPathDB Parasitology/protozoology community meeting. Thanks everyone for all the questions and comments. youtu.be/aSS6fiGVBG4

Targeted CRISPR Screens Reveal Genes Essential for Cryptosporidium Survival in the Host Intestine (full thread in the other place!) Lucy Watson biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The essential host genome for Cryptosporidium intracellular survival exposes metabolic dependencies that can be leveraged for treatment (full thread in that other place!) Bishara Marzook biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited to join the Division of Immunobiology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital MC in March 2025. My lab will study how RNA biology regulates and is regulated by infection and immunity. We'll be hiring at all levels in 2025 - stay tuned! gokhalelab.com

Really proud to share the PhD thesis work of Rui Xiao. One day, while using long-read RNA-seq for annotation of the genome, he discovered polycistronic transcripts in Cryptosporidium parvum. Read all about it at: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It has been a goal of the NIH since 2012 to help prepare a "robust workforce equipped to address the greatest challenges and opportunities in biomedical research". It's a shame to see that investment flushed away. Not much fat on an 8% overhead on a T32. biomedicalresearchworkforce.nih.gov/docs/Biomedica…

Cryptosporidium modifies intestinal microvilli through an exported virulence factor! (full thread in the other place) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Good news amid all these turmoil in our lives. Our TilS paper found its home in EMBO Reports. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Please consider supporting the future of parasite genome access. We signed up and I hope so will you if that is possible. Trends in Parasitology British Society for Parasitology BiologyofParasitism ASP-Parasitologists Aust Soc for Para ASTMH

I am excited to share that I am opening my lab at Clemson University this summer, where we will study the regulators of Cryptosporidium life cycle progression! We will be hiring a lab technician and graduate students in the near future - stay posted. Follow @walzerlab.bsky.social

Thrilled to share this new pre-print, led by Peyton Goddard . If you have ever wanted to know "Where is the gut is the parasite?" this pre-print is for you. 🐮 Thanks to our wonderful collaborators at The Moredun Foundation Frank Katzer David Smith and EMs by Leandro Lemgruber.
