Wonderful trip to Blairmore, home of Sir William Leishman, with fellow Leishmania researchers. Niche tourism! Huge thanks to Mike Barrett for organising #Parasitology @bspparasitology.bsky.social

At DDU, we developed a washout assay to determine if compounds can achieve complete parasite clearance.
