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.
We now have our very own logo!
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!
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
A new lab Picture! Soon we are going to need a bigger bay
