Infectious Disease Research Initiative Scotland symposium This meeting brings together researchers from the Universities of Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh to hear about the exciting range of work at our different institutions. Programme Wednesday 6 March Session 1: from 1 pm Nisha Philip (UoE) - TBC Jeziel Dener Damasceno (UoG) - Using conditional genome engineering with DiCre and CRISPR/Cas9 to understand the genome maintenance strategies in Leishmania Manu De Rycker (UoD) - Challenges in Chagas Disease drug discovery Migla Miskinyte (UoE) - Maintenance of mitochondrial DNA in trypanosomes: genetic and phenotypic screens to identify factors and inhibitors Session 2: from 3.45 pm Mattie Pawlowic (UoD) - Genetic tools to study Cryptosporidium biology Lilach Sheiner (UoG) - Lost in translation - trying to understand and target Apicomplexan mitochondrial translation Short Talks from poster presenters Thursday 7 March Session 3: from 9.00 am Alan Fairlamb (UoD) - History of the Drug Discovery Unit Thomas Otto (UoG) - Opportunities of scRNA-Seq in parasites Wiebke Nahrendorf (UoE) - Malaria remodels the spleen to imprint tolerance Beatriz Baragana (UoD) - Lysyl-t-RNA Synthetase as a dug target in Apicomplexan parasites Public Engagement - Led by Ali Floyd (UoD) and Vickie Curtis (UoG) Session 4: from 11.15 am Richard Wall (UoD) - Overexpression library reveals the target of the clinical and veterinary trypanocidal benzoxaboroles Jenny Regan (UoE) - Sex differences in innate immunity and ageing: a Drosophila perspective Mahmood Alam (UoG) - Targeting essential protein kinases in malaria parasites The main meeting is followed on Thursday afternoon by a special session for early career researchers Accommodation and transport Please let Hilary Snaith (hilary.snaith@ed.ac.uk) know as soon as possible if you are intending to presenting a poster, as we may be able to provide transport to Dundee and overnight accommodation, depending on numbers.
