Tapoka Mkandawire is a featured author of our new #womenbehindthework initiative in partnership with @TrendsParasiol. Read her open access review with Maria Duque here: cell.com/trends/parasit… #womeninparasitology #WomenInSTEM #STEM #parasites #helminths

Our paper describing the early stages of whipworm infection just out. Includes a new caecal organoid system. many years tenacious work driven by Maria Duque. Great collaboration involving Grencisgroup @lydiabeckerIII WTCCMR @berriman_mb4 Wellcome Sanger Institute doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Maria Duque Grencisgroup Lydia Becker Institute WTCCMR @Berriman_mb4 Wellcome Sanger Institute Maria Duque will be developing this system further, as she establishes her new independent lab. Lot's of exciting stuff to come!

Our manuscript on the use of organoids to understand the early events of whipworm infection was published today in Nature Communications. Huge effort at Wellcome Sanger Institute Parasite Genomics in collaboration with Grencisgroup Dave Thornton Andrew Gillis Rawlinson Lab. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It has been a privilege to see this work evolve into a shiny Nature Communications paper. Congratulations to Maria Duque and collaborators on a brilliant piece of research. Defining the early stages of intestinal colonisation by whipworms. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

So grateful for all the support from the The National Centre for the 3Rs. Without it this project would have not been possible. Looking forward to keep developing solutions for the #3Rs!

We are looking for an enthusiastic Postdoc to join my lab Cambridge Stem Cell Institute to investigate how whipworms manipulate host intestinal stem cell niche remodelling using single-cell and spatial RNA sequencing and state-of-the-art microscopy: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/37564/. Please-retweet!

I am incredibly proud of Roz Laing (BUG Consortium) and my latest publication in Cell Reports. A big collaborative effort to map the genes responsible for resistance to three of the most important drugs used to treat parasitic worms in humans and animals. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

We are hiring! We are looking for a Research Assistant with experience on mouse models to join my lab Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and work on exciting projects aiming to understand the whipworm niche at the host gut lining: lnkd.in/eCZRzgQ4. Please re-tweet!

🚨 Job alert! I am hiring a postdoc to work on an exciting project funded by Medical Research Council investigating the many hidden, uncultured bacterial species in the gut #microbiome and their relevance to human health: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/37811/. Please share and RT.

Really pleased to welcome Maria Duque to Manchester yesterday. She gave a really great talk about her current work and future plans with some amazing images. Thanks for coming. A pic with @grencisk and @MucusMan

Yesterday I had a great worm day at Manchester, meeting with Richard Grencis, @MucusMan, @Hepworth_Lab, Kathryn Else, Judi Allen and enthusiastic PhD students and postdocs! Hope to visit again soon!
