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.

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….

We are pleased to welcome Mona Awad-Elgeid from the University of Khartoum, Sudan to Glasgow as part of the GCRF program. She has already done great things in the lab and we cant wait to see what will be next.
