Used to be funny, now I make parasites kiss. Postdoc @SaterialeLab @TheCrick figuring out how small tubes (like Cryptosporidium) infect bigger tubes (our guts).

Come and join us for the exciting Future of Parasitology symposium @PIV_IP @institutpasteur with keynote lectures by Maria Yazdanbakhsh @LUMC_Leiden and Peter Myler @seattlechildren, and plenty of young scientists! Free registration! #parasitology eventbrite.fr/e/future-of-pa…



It's a GRA12 world and we're just living in it! We performed CRISPR screens to identify conserved virulence factors across Toxoplasma clonal and atypical strains and the top hit is a͟l͟w͟a͟y͟s GRA12! and, for the first time, in all mouse subspecies!thread👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Our article on transcriptional control of the Cryptosporidium life cycle out today in @nature. Tremendous body of work by @DrKatelynWalzer, defining (among many other things) how parasites choose to be male. Read the paper at nature.com/articles/s4158…


Very grateful and excited to be a part of the Leading Edge community! ☺️ Can't wait to learn and grow from these incredible people.



In this TrendsTalk, the #Cryptosporidium2024 session chairs highlight the innovative research and discoveries presented during the first biennial #Cryptosporidium meeting @pennvet organized by @striepenlab & @KingOfPathogens. cell.com/trends/parasit…

Dietary & immune driven defense against Crypto. @MuraliMaradana @ghostpathogen @SaterialeLab discover that intestinal immune cells relying on AHR defend against #Cryptosporidium. Diet sup. w/AHR ligands enhances anti-cryptosporidial activity of these cells cell.com/cell-host-micr…

It's finally out! Our story on Crypto, AHR, and dietary indoles is in the December issue of CHM. We are particularly excited about our study's findings on using I3C as a potential anti-Cryptosporidial prophylactic. cell.com/cell-host-micr…
