XFM at the ESRF!

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!

Welcome!

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!

It has been great hosting Adam Scott over his amazingly productive undergraduate summer placement. I am certain that he will continue his success in Canada!

Major Lab milestone

I would like to congratulate Meg, who successfully made the 100th plasmid of the lab. Here she shows off her ceremonial card clip, engraved with 100 as a reminder of this historic achievement

New Paper!

The first paper from the lab is out! Great work from Dana and Megan

Lab Movie

We made a movie to summarise who we are and what we do! But since it was lockdown, we couldn’t film in person so we had to make do with lego….
