Another year, and the tradition continues! .The Zoology Colloquium brought our department community together for a day of fantastic talks, including from our PhD student @AisteVit, and wrapped up with a tasty, well-deserved BBQ feast! 🔥 .🦊🐍🐢🦟🦌🐳🦞#Zoology.@SNSUniofGalway

Prof John Dalton spoke on tackling global parasites affecting humans & their livestock during the Planetary Health session at @uniofgalway's College of Science & Engineering Research & Innovation Day 2025, followed by an expert panel on the role of planetary health in society. 🌍

A fantastic day out for the Molecular Parasitology Lab crew, sharing our research and networking at the @uniofgalway College of Science and Engineering Research and Innovation Day 2025!

RT @KasiaWhysall: Still time to register! Great topics, with some of my personal favorites #ageing #microRNAs #muscle @RedoxAGing @GalwayRNA.

All work and no play make Parasitologists dull scientists! Enjoying a few local chicharrones with the Cabada team.

Jesús López and Richie Lalor from the Molecular Parasitology Lab in Galway met with our Peruvian colleagues in Cusco, Peru. We're thrilled with how well our diagnostic tests performed - and how successful the collaboration was!. Many thanks to @Researchirel for funding this work!

Nice to meet up with our friends and colleagues from Moredun Research Institute (MRI), Edinburgh, who are attending the annual meeting of the British Society of Animal Science @BSAS_org held in Galway this week.

RT @_SBSP_: We are open for registration!. Abstract submission deadline is running for 10 more days or until the 12th of April. See more i….

Beautiful paper by my talented PhD student @AisteVit and colleagues published in @Virulence12 - this paper should be a gamechanger. Contact us if you are interested. JohnD. Thanks to @Researchirel for funding this great work. Link to the paper below👇:.
