I don't post much on here these days, but sad to say we lost our fabulous dog Gilbert today at 16 years old. Despite many years of attempted science outreach for our parasite work, it was Gilbert who broke through with a feature in BBC Science magazine. He always stole the limelight.
We have a 3+ year post doc available in our lab to study trypanosome transmission and virulence. Combined wet lab and bioinformatics expertise preferred. Please apply via the HR link (elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...). Find out more about us in the link below.
Not the Oscars, but super proud of daughter #1s video editing for the Glasgow fashion show

A further great collaboration with @allshire-lab.bsky.social !
Update: contract duration extended to 2029 (i.e. now a ~almost 4 year contract duration). Please apply by 6th June!
Please consider applying for a post doc in our lab if you have bioinformatics and wet lab skills, and are interested in parasites!

Exploring the chromatin proteome of Trypanosoma brucei repetitive elements (telomeres, centromeres, 70bp repeats, 177bp repeats) using TALEs. Another great collaboration with @allshire-lab.bsky.social

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.
We've previously looked at the developmental biology of trypanosome infections in mice, but parastaemias are unnaturally high in mice compared to cattle. Read what happens in cattle when blood parasitaemias are low and so quorum sensing may be limited...
