Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua
Facultad de Ciencias Químicas
QBP, PhD, BoP, MPH ('23). Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry at UACH. I'm a member of the interdisciplinary research group "Entomovet" and our aim is to study vector-borne diseases of medical and veterinary importance from a One Health perspective in the state of Chihuahua, and other areas in the country. I'm particularly interested in Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission in Chihuahua as well as tick-borne diseases in our community. At UACH, our group "Environment and health microbiology" works on evaluating traditional medicinal plants and their active compounds, anthropogenic impact on microorganisms, and prospection of parasites in human population, as well as in companion and farm animals. Science outreach activities are a key part of our group, both online or on-site whenever we are doing fieldwork in rural communities and towns. Always looking for new collaborations and meeting scientists across disciplines (especially parasitologists) from all over the world.
University of Copenhagen
Centre for Medical Parasitology
Yvonne Adams is an Associate Professor based at the Centre for Medical Parasitology at the University of Copenhagen and is a member of the Lundbeck Foundation Investigator Network. For the last two decades her research focus has been on host-parasite interactions, specifically that of Plasmodium falciparum and how it interacts with the endothelium, with a special focus on ICAM-1. Using a variety of techniques such as microfluidics and blood-brain barrier organoid culture, her research not only investigates the effects adhesion has on the endothelium, but investigates the efficacy of antibodies targeting PfEMP1 molecules which mediate adhesion and other potential adjunctive treatments. Since establishing BBB-organoids here in Copenhagen, her research focus has expanded to other neurotropic infections such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causative agent of Lyme Neuroborreliosis; these models offer a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of pathogens upon the blood-brain barrier and beyond.
University of Ghana
Centre for Tropical Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Ghana Medical School
Prof. George Obeng Adjei is the Director of Research, Office of Research, Innovation and Development, University of Ghana (UG) and formerly, director of the Centre for Tropical Clinical Pharmacology, UG Medical School. He is a paediatric clinical pharmacologist with over two decades experience in clinical research and medical practice. His research interests and publications have focused on, clinical trials of antimalarial drugs and antimicrobials, evaluation of diagnostic tools and interventions for malaria in patients with sickle cell disease and other haemoglobinopathies and studies on the pathogenesis of severe malaria in children. He has participated in the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network activities and chairs several local research ethics committees in Ghana. He obtained his medical degree from the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland and PhD from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is an elected Fellow of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology and an elected Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Universidad de San Martín - CONICET
Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (IIB)
I began my academic career at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) with a degree in Biology, and completed a PhD at the Luis F. Leloir Institute on biochemistry and molecular biology. The focus of my research was the intermediary metabolism of Echinococus granulosus, an helminth parasite. My postdoctoral work at the Institute for Research in Biotechnology at the University of San Martín was focused on genomics and bioinformatics, working mainly with protozoan and bacterial pathogens (trypanosomes, Brucella, Campylobacter). My current interests are the identification and experimental validation of drug targets against trypanosomes, and the use of high-throughput genomic and proteomic platforms to study immune responses against infections with T. cruzi (Chagas Disease).

Biology Centre, Czech Academy of Sciences
Institute of Parasitology
After my Biology studies, I obtained a MSc in Aquaculture and a PhD in Marine Resources at the University of Valencia (Spain). I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Parasitology of the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences (BC-CAS; Czech Republic) and at Oregon State University (USA). After a researcher position at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, Argentina), I moved back to Europe and currently, I work as a senior postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Parasitology, BC-CAS. My research focuses on myxozoan parasites virulence. I investigate how myxozoans interact with their fish hosts during invasion, migration and proliferation, and how that interactions relate to their virulence and ability to cause harm in the fish.
