Check out our latest work led by the very talented PhD student @MarinaPapaiak on the genomic diversity of soil-transmitted helminths. Lots of neat results and implications for molecular diagnostics moving forward. Lots more coming from us in this space! 👇
Our preprint is now out on BioRxiv! #STHs #worms #diagnostics #helminths
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
⁉️ How are parasitic worms linked globally, and how reliable are our current diagnostic targets and qPCR assays?
Let me take you through a journey 🧵 1/

Many thanks to my team, both at Sanger and abroad, for asking big questions and pushing into new spaces. Thanks to an ever-growing collaborative network all around the world - the work we do together is far more exciting than what can be done alone.

Exciting to see our latest manuscript, now published in @ScienceAdvances .
Many congratulations to Duncan - a long-awaited chapter of his PhD is done - and to the broader collaborative team, without whom these large multidisciplinary studies could not be done.

🚨 Heartworm history runs deeper than human influence! 🚨Our 5+ years of research on 🐶 Dirofilaria immitis reveal patterns that challenge long‑held assumptions about how it spreads.

Very excited to be heading to Curitiba, Brazil, for @waavp 2025! Lucky enough to be invited to give a keynote, and will talk about progress and prospects of using genomics and transcriptomics in the "real-world" of parasitology. Looking forward to some interesting discussions!
