Hi everyone!
We are SPPIRIT, a Scottish ECR network created by a group of postdocs, research fellows, and PIs motivated to develop and strengthen the parasitology community in Scotland.
Follow us for research highlights, training opportunities, Workshops and much more!
Suggesting the 2024 lab motto was "Can you come and look at my organoids?" was well received 😅
Well done team, bravo 👏
Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
If you have ever wanted to know "Where is the gut is the parasite?" this pre-print is for you. 🐮 Led by Peyton, with thanks to our wonderful collaborators at @moredunfoundation.bsky.social Frank Katzer, @geordieparasit.bsky.social and EMs by @lemgruber.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Happy International Day for Women and Girls in Science.
We stand upon the achievements of so many great women scientists in our daily lives. Here's to many more to come.
Today is a day to acknowledge the women in my research group, as well as colleagues and collaborators, for their amazing science
Application deadline: 15th December 2025
These PhD positions would start October 2026
A sincere thank you to the Hannah Dairy Research Foundation, we a very grateful for this support.
Congratulations to our group's PhD student @miriamgarner.bsky.social for leading on a HDRF grant application that we are delighted to report has been successful
This will elevate the host-parasite interactions research we can do using cutting-edge liver models (developed by Miriam!) for liver fluke

The Cambridge University Press journal Parasitology is running a special issue on Organoids and Parasites, providing a great platform for spotlighting research in this area.
A genuine pleasure to be involved in this.
