The #KnuepferLab had a great time at the #RoyalVetCollege Showcase event on Saturday explaining our research on Plasmodium and Babesia parasites with a powerful tool - PlayDoh. Not to mention our first steps into PlayDoh movie making, which brought "Steve the Schizont" and his relatives to life.

The #KnuepferLab is happy to announce its Bronze-level LEAF award for lab sustainability. As the first lab within the #RVC to participate in LEAF, we are proud to have a positive impact on RVC’s overall sustainability culture. Special thanks to RVC’s new “LEAF Team” for great support along the way.

The KnuepferLab is hiring!

Our team is looking for a highly motivated, experienced molecular parasitologist to expand our group as a postdoctoral researcher at the RVC.

Extremely proud of KnuepferLab's Dr Melissa Hart who is now officially one of Wellcome Trust's Early Career Fellows. A lot of hard work went into it and even more hard work will follow over the next 5 years studying "The Junction and beyond".
