Perkinsus marinus is an important marine pathogen yet we know little about its biology.
Andrew Maclean and colleagues reports complexome work of whole parasite and mitochondria mapping the essential mitochondrial enzymes and kickstarting future functional studies ๐

What is the impact of malaria infection on vaccinations for other diseases? how should we think about vaccines compromised by malaria?
How does the parasite causing toxoplasmosis makes the essential proteins in its mitochondrion via an extremely fragmented mito-ribosome?
๐๐
Another successful and engaging session of the CoRE-AID Webinar Series! Thanks to our speakers for their insightful talks, as well as to our participants. If you missed parts of the webinar, or just want to re-watch it, now you can stream them here: youtube.com/watch?v=uyuGfxZvโฆ

Key sentence from Victor's talk at @WCIPGLASGOW @UofGSii today - "it just works, it just works!" (referring to mitochondrial ribosomes and discussing their extreme divergent features)
Great to have Victor on board with us here at Glasgow!
