No vaccines are currently available for any gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections of humans, despite a large global burden of disease. In livesto…

Bringing together ECR parasitologists from across Scotland to network and showcase their science.

In schistosomiasis-endemic regions, the cyclical nature of infection and treatment complicates understanding of host immune responses. Repeated controlled human Schistosoma mansoni infection, designed...

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Postdoctoral researcher to join the Maclean lab to investigate the metabolism of the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

This project will seek to understand the basis of increased virulence after long term coinfection by a combination of genomic, transcriptomic and laboratory manipulation of the selected parasite lines...

The helminth immunomodulators from the HpARI and HpBARI families can block IL-33 responses. Smyth and Hodge et al. show that vaccination with these immunomodulatory proteins can raise blocking antibody responses against them, allowing the development of effective anti-parasite type 2 immunity and ejection of the parasite.

We are looking for a facility manager for the SBS flow cytometry core facility. This is a full-time position (35 hours per week) with most of that time expected to be on campus in the flow facility. W...

The HpARI family members can either suppress or amplify responses to IL-33, and also differ in their half-life in vivo due to binding to the extracellular matrix constituent, heparan sulphate.

The murine intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri powerfully modulates the host immune
