Apr 2020 - We won't let the corona virus let us forget that there are more diseases that need to be fought: Eric joins us to work on inhibitors and the molecular mechanisms of essential enzymes from the parasite causing African Sleeping Sickness and related diseases such as Chagas disease or leishmaniasis affecting millions worldwide! Welcome!
Mar 2020 - We are currently on a SARS-CoV-2 enforced wet lab break, focussing on writing papers and theses. By staying at home, minimizing personal contacts and washing our hands frequently, we are doing our share to support the global efforts to fight against this pandemic. If you need to contact us, we are availble via our university email accounts.
Stay safe, sane and healthy!
