@CTEGD @parasite_doc @jcklab Congratulations! 🍾

Shreyes Kanumuru, a talented undergraduate researcher, in the Rice Research Group presented his UG research at @LifeAtPurdue Fall Expo today! He found many of the recommended therapies are ineffective against several strains of Balamuthia and that newer drugs are urgently needed!

@reenwilson @KatrinaVelle Happy to jump on a video call and show you the videos which we’ve produced in the lab. I believe it is alleviating the initial symptoms due to the encystment, but then causing more relapse cases later on when physicians think they have treated the disease and take off drugs.

@reenwilson @KatrinaVelle It can be traumatic for a patient seeing how amoeba behave, but these experiments help us researchers understand these organisms better. e.g. by using microscopy, I believe I know why we see more relapsing cases when AK patients are treated with azoles, it causes encystation.

@ADTsaousis Thank you! Hope to see you at the Protistology-UK meeting in Liverpool next year! You’ll get to hear more about it then 🤞.

I guess my lab group knows me best and how distracted and much I like to talk, that they had to make a “do not disturb” sign for our cleaning day. 😅😂 The lab is now all clean and tidy for the #newsemester!#research #talkalot #amoeba #awareness
