Microbiology nerd 🤓. Parasitology Reseacher @ The University of Adelaide🦠. Studying parasite cell biology🔬🧫.
Adelaide, South Australia
Joined September 2018
Out today as a pre-print!.We raided our freezers, got all the antibodies we could, and imaged parasites across the asexual blood-stage of their lifecycle using expansion microscopy. A quick🧵on some of the parasite biology we investigated in the process.
