To do this, we are partnering with Dr. Curtis Thorne’s lab at the University of Arizona. Thanks to the WellcomeContinue reading “Collaboration with Curtis Thorne Lab”

Ready to walk through this door soon and get things upContinue reading “Back-in-the Lab!”

We’re looking forward to seeing the parasitology community in online conferences, and in 2021! Mattie wentContinue reading “Spring Travels”

At the beginning of February we said hello to Lee, our new research assistant.   At the end of February we said goodbye (for now) to Senyo.

The Pawlowic Lab has been hosting a WCAIR Trainee, Mr. Senyo Botchie, since July 2019. While in Dundee, Senyo has been learning the basics of Cryptosporidium culture, detection, and drug discovery.
