All set up and ready to go for the Energy Expo 2023 Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway IrishGreenLabs many thanks to My Green Lab for resources and support #sustainability

With the latest issue of Trends in Parasitology now available, we are excited to announce that the first 100 women we profiled are featured on this month's cover in celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is coming up on February 11th! #WomenInSTEM

IT IS SNOWING IN GALWAY AND WE ARE EXCITED Molecular Parasitology at the University of Galway @Carolinmv1 Aiste Vitkauskaite 🇺🇦 Eve O’Kelly Richie

Looking forward to the Molecular Helminthology 2023 conference in Madison, WI 26-29 June Morgridge Institute. Molecular Parasitology at the University of Galway STEM at University of Galway @scienceirel funded team are presenting talks and posters at the event, come talk to us.

Molecular Parasitology at the University of Galway crew is up nice and early today beginning their trip to the Molecular Helminthology Molecular Helminthology Morgridge Institute meeting in Madison! We are very excited to see our colleagues there! 🪱✈️

Thank you to Javier González Miguel Atenea Lab our collaborator for this research without whom this wouldn’t be possible! 👩🏻‍🔬🪱👏🏼

Thank you Morgridge Institute for giving me the opportunity to present our research on Fasciola hepatica Enolase at the #MolHelm2023 meeting. This research wouldn’t be possible without without our team Molecular Parasitology at the University of Galway and collaborator Javier González Miguel Atenea Lab 👏🏼👩🏻‍🔬❤️🪱 #fasciola

❗️We are hiring!❗️ Two one-year Research Assistant positions are available in our laboratory. Experience with immuno-techniques, recombinant DNA methods & basic biochemistry required. Deadline 24th of November. More information & application: universityofgalway.ie/about-us/jobs/… Please share

It's OFFICIAL! We are SO proud of our Jesús Lopez, aka the King of ELISA👑 for completing his Research Masters thesis on the development and performance of a serological enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for ruminant liver fluke disease!🪱Congratulations Jesús, amazing job!👏👏🥳

Last week our PhD student Eve O’Kelly and postdoctoral researcher Richard Lalor presented their work on vaccine development against F. hepatica parasite at the 9th International Conference of Novel Approaches to the Control of Helminth Parasites of Livestock in sunny Grenada, WI!

The best people and scientists! 🌟 Showcasing the amazing work our group does at the College of Science and Engineering Research and Innovation Day 2024. 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪 Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway Molecular Parasitology at the University of Galway Aiste Vitkauskaite 🇺🇦 Eve O’Kelly Richie SNS@UniversityofGalway

Congratulations to our brilliant protein production master Eve O'Kelly on the first first-author paper of her PhD! Check out what she has to say about the study in the video below!👇 You can find the article here: doi.org/10.1371/journa… Eve O’Kelly SNS@UniversityofGalway Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway

❗️Only 3 days left to register❗️ Don’t miss the FREE online event organised by the Cambridge University & Cambridge University Press on Miniature Worlds: Organoid Research in Parasitology where Parasitologists will discuss 3D Organoid and Spheroid cellular models for studying parasites in vitro!🪱🧫

Guess who's back?🤗 It’s only the start of the year, but Jesús is already hard at work, preparing diagnostics for the liver fluke (Fasciola) infections to be distributed to collaborative laboratories worldwide. Thanks to funding from Research Ireland! #Diagnostics #GlobalHealth

New year, new discoveries! 🎉 Our postdoc Richard Lalor explores how peptides derived from Fasciola hepatica, a parasitic worm, could offer a groundbreaking biotherapeutic approach to treating sepsis. Learn more about this exciting research from our lab!👇 journals.lww.com/shockjournal/f…

🔥Hot off the press!!🔥 Dr. Sheila Donnelly, in collaboration with the Molecular Parasitology Lab, shares new findings on the biotherapeutic potential of immunoregulatory peptides from flatworm parasites for treating human immune-mediated diseases.👇👇👇 faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…

🦠🌍 It's World Parasite Awareness Day! Our brilliant PhD student Eve O'Kelly Eve O’Kelly is inspiring future scientists by sharing her career journey & advice with BSc Biotechnology students at the Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway. 🎓🔬 #ParasiteAwareness #STEMCareers #Biotech #LiverFluke

Beautiful paper by my talented PhD student Aiste Vitkauskaite 🇺🇦 and colleagues published in Virulence - this paper should be a gamechanger. Contact us if you are interested. JohnD Thanks to Research Ireland for funding this great work. Link to the paper below👇: tandfonline.com/doi/metrics/10…
