Saying goodbye to our summer student, Felishia, who joined us from PSG College of Technology, India! She spent the summer gaining hands-on molecular biology experience, identifying heparin-binding proteins from Fasciola hepatica. We wish you every success in your future studies & career, Felishia!🍀

Last week, we had a fantastic time at the 4th Pathogen Biology Ireland Conference 2026. Our group showcased ongoing research during the parasitology session, highlighted by Dr. Sheila Donnelly’s keynote talk on host–parasite interactions. Thanks to the organisers for a great day of science and BBQ.

The final research chapter of my PhD is published! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 It shows how the ability of spider venom to paralyse prey scales isometrically with its ability to cause prey mortality! It is published with open access in Toxicon: X. You can check it out via the following link - doi.org/10.1016/j.to....
