Great to see this new work published from @GuyOldrieve and @KeithRMatthews @edin_eid showing how the parasites that cause sleeping sickness can spread beyond their native Africa as a result of mutations to key genes edinburgh-infectious-diseases.ed.ac.uk/news-and-event…
Exploring the chromatin proteome of Trypanosoma brucei repetitive elements (telomeres, centromeres, 70bp repeats, 177bp repeats) using TALEs. Another great collaboration with @Allshire_Lab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We've previously looked at the developmental biology of trypanosome infections in mice, but parastaemias are unnaturally high in mice compared to cattle. Read what happens in cattle when blood parasitaemias are low and so quorum sensing may be limited...
Dream job alert! @SPPIRITnetwork @BSPparasitology Postdoc job with the amazing Joana at @BiologyatYork . Amazing mentor, cool project, and lovely place to live and work.
Are you interested in #trypanosomes #biomolecularcondensates and/or #geneexpression? We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to work with with us in the beautiful city of York! @UniOfYork @YBRI_UoY @BiologyatYork Please RT! jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo…
It is a great honour to invite you to a symposium to celebrate the career of Mark Carrington. An exciting set of talks for anyone fascinated by trypanosomes!

It's been an honour to take over from LSTM and keep this tsetse colony going at @roslininstitute. The @DrLiamMorrison group has some very exciting research plans for 2025!
In 2024 we said goodbye to LSTM's tsetse fly colony, the only one in the UK. After playing a vital role in our research and education programmes for 20 years, the colony relocated to the Roslin Insitute at @EdinburghUni Hear more about its significance in our short video.
Discover how non-tsetse transmitted trypanosomes lose the ability to make stumpy forms (and adapt to the monomorphic life style) and so can spread outside Africa. Read it via the link available via @keithrmatthews@bsky.social
Well done to all involved! “Matched with the colourful and comedically timed lighting designed by Rebecca Matthews.” #prouddad theatrescotland.co.uk/2024/09/28/a-d…

When I said someone in my lab was in our culture hood my daughter thought it was a science equivalent of the ‘neighbourhood’. We were cool for a very brief period. #gangstalab
Mechanisms of life cycle simplification in African trypanosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A huge effort from @GuyOldrieve exploring how monomorphic trypanosomes can escape dependence on tsetse for their transmission and what it tells us about mechanisms of stumpy formation.
Exciting 3-year post-doctoral position open in the group of Brice Rotureau @institutpasteur in collaboration with @Glover_Tryplab and @BringaudF Please RT. research.pasteur.fr/en/team/group-…
