Last week I attended my first #EMBO #ParaFrap Host-Parasite Interaction meeting in Les Embiez 🇫🇷 I had an amazing time packed with great science and people 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 Thank you to the organizers for the chance to talk about Perkinsus 🦠🦪 and thank you to everyone for the support! 🥹

The #EMBOWorkshop : Host–parasite relationship has come to a close! Thank you to all speakers, participants, and organizers for four inspiring days of science, discussion, and human connection. Until next time! 🧫✨

🌍 Thrilled to unveil the stellar speaker lineup for #Apicomplexa2026! #rt #share Join leading parasitologists from 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦🇮🇱🇩🇪🇨🇭🇦🇺 and beyond at the II International Virtual Symposium on Apicomplexan Parasites Research🧬 📅 Jan 27–28, 2026 | 💻 Online 🔗 apicomplexaconference.com

🍾Our small #Expansion #Microscopy adventure is only starting! We are happy to announce that @MooreFound will be funding our efforts in creating an Expansion Microscopy atlas of #Microbial #Eukaryotes with @Dey_Gautam @UNIGEnews @embl Link: unige.ch/sciences/chimi… 1/4

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, producing essential energy for life 🏭⚙️. To synthesize the proteins for this process, mitochondria have mitoribosomes. But, how do the mitoribosomes from Alveolates assemble? 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

The latest paper from our lab is online now at Current Biology! cell.com/current-biolog… #dinoflagellates #plastids #endosymbiosis

Congratulations to all authors on this work. Great addition to the cryptosporidium research field!

Great meeting for the LMU-Cambridge Strategic Partnership. Exciting new opportunities ahead! 🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪 @RossWaller3 @MeissnerLab @ElenaJmnezRz @Arctas_fr @siegel_lab @CicutaGroup @Susie__McLaren @Dey_Gautam @oscarbranson @rayner_julian

⁦@RossWaller3⁩ ⁦@CamWallerLab⁩ Ross Waller credits Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders with figuring out Myzozoa long before the rest of us. #cgue

⁦@realBenJen⁩ tells us about glycans in cell/cell recognition for symbiosis. #CGUE

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: #future" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

Follow #CGUE for more exciting research from the Eme group

There is more to be done, the use of a curated but small set of genes is able to explain the current rooting of the eukaryotic tree of life, however the internal groupings require additional genes, different evolutionary models and of course, more extensive sampling

The proverbial tree of life, it brings a robust picture on how organisms are related to one another and how they evolve. If we go back to the very beginning, we will find LUCA, but this is #CGUE and we'll focus in LECA
