We are so pleased to welcome Lucas Pagura as a new postdoctoral associate to the lab. We have stolen him from Trypansoma cruzi and his work will focus on metal transporters of T. gondii.

Dana and I visited the ESRF at Grenoble to look at Toxoplasma with X-ray fluorescence microscopy. Some beautiful scenery and images, and hopefully some nice data!

So last week, Dr Jack Hanna started in the lab as a post doc, and Leandre and Remo, students from Stellenbosch University in South Africa, started their 6 week exchange project investigating novel compounds on Toxoplasma gondii. To celebrate, we went for the traditional Glasgow meal of Thai food. Its going to be a fun few weeks!

We would like to welcome Elena Hartmann to the lab!

She will be joining us for a year as a technician and we are very excited to have her

Massive congratulations to Megan for receiving her Early Career Fellowship from Wellcome! Its going to be a very exciting 5 years understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and regulation.

Celebration with the traditional milkshakes/ice cream.
