On a train that goes from Naples to Turin in few hours at 250km/h ✨ the network and service of Italo high speed trains in Italy is really fantastic!

Stellar speakers, the most interesting topic ever and a fantastic city 🤩 June 2024 in Padua, Italy #EMBOcellBioHostPath meetings.embo.org/event/24-host-…

I have to say that these lunch breaks in the patio of I Gulbenkian Ciência under this blue sky even in January are really something 😍

Out now 🙌 My colleague Hugo worked tirelessly on this project on the expansion of a kinase family in primates malaria species. I find super fascinating the conservation in specificity across species and that one-of-a-kind Tyr kinase FIKK13! #parasitesrule #MAM2024

I left with more ideas than when I entered the room, thank you so much Sabrina Absalon !

For sure the best science retreat ever done! Fantastic brainstorming sessions and dreamy place 😍 Treeck Lab, 2024 is gonna be great

So special to live in Lisbon on this day! Let’s hope people keep the memory alive and history won’t repeat itself. Bom Dia da Liberdade!

In a month time I’ll give a talk at my favourite event in one of the most special places for me, and that was home for long: Berlin ❤️ ! Too many beautiful things at once and so looking forward! #ToxoXVII #parasitesrule pic taken on 10/06/15

How working from bed with a bad backache feels like

I run into this picture in my camera roll and I’m getting a bit nostalgic…what an amazing bunch of people! Super lucky to have crossed path with them⁩ ⁦Bishara Marzook⁩ ⁦Stephanie Nofal⁩ ⁦Elena⁩ ⁦Simon Butterworth⁩ ⁦Tapoka Mkandawire⁩ ⁦Ana Matias⁩

You can see a Pac-Man eating or you’re lying 🧡 love seeing a hungry Toxo by TEM ⁦⁦parasitesrule⁩ (image credit to the EM facility at the Crick)

Steph is a fantastic dedicated supervisor and the most creative scientist I’ve worked with. If you want to learn a lot and work on the prettiest stage in the plasmodium cycle that’s your occasion! parasitesrule

2005 Corse Toxo is a vibe! #ToxoXVII

Somebody got really taken by his Parasitology class! “The cat then turns the mouse into a ghost And Toxoplasma joins its natural host... (The cat)”, but liver fluke is the real life cycle masterpiece! open.spotify.com/track/0CyJCfln…

Honored to receive the prize and to receive so much feedback on the project! Fantastic meeting that confirms once more how great the Toxo community is ✨ #ToxoXVII #toxo24

Come to find our beautiful #gimm stand at NOS Alive 2024 ! A lot of science-themed games with beautiful prizes and you learn about the institute! I Gulbenkian Ciência iMM

Colleague appreciation moment! Franziska Hildebrandt brought bubbles to celebrate her published work on spatial transcriptomics in Plasmodium. Fascinating to see what the parasite needs for a cozy liver niche! Liver stage = best stage! nature.com/articles/s4146…

#CRISPR #screens are now widely used and we show how mutants within a pool affect each other in a paracrine fashion. We believe the implications are major for anybody doing CRISPR screens, way beyond the Toxoplasma field! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In view of today big UK news I’m forced to re-advertise the manuscript. Is your KO mutant affecting other mutants within the CRISPR pool and masking phenotypes? Definitely Maybe #oasis2025 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic opportunity to grow skills in molecular biology and cell culture, working in Parasitology in the wonderful community of Glasgow! ✨ #parasitesrule
