Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD thesis on sensitive circulating antigen diagnostics for schistosomiasis @LUMCPara. Many thanks to my supervisors, family, friends and colleagues for making it a very special day! Full thesis available here👇🏻 scholarlypublications.univer…

A special parasite art project - goodbye dear Eric, you will be missed! To all parasite lovers: which parasite do you recognize? 🔬 #crossstitch #SciArt – at Leyden, The Netherlands

Final paper for my PhD thesis now published in @PLOSNTDs ! Results from our #RePST trial showed that PZQ efficacy measurements vary based on the diagnostic method used: egg-based diagnostics show different patterns compared to worm-based diagnostics. 👉🏻 journals.plos.org/plosntds/a… – at Leyden, The Netherlands

Really enjoyed making this #schistosomiasis #glycan #plant portrait for my dear colleague @AKildemoes it’s not a goodbye, but see you later 👋🏻

Diagnosing #schistosomiasis without a microscope: POC-CCA and PCR on stool are suitable screening tools, while ultra-sensitive and highly specific UCP-LF #CAA showed a large number of additional infections - mainly of low worm burden 🪱 👉🏻 mdpi.com/1892968

Goodbye #crossstitch gift for our dear colleague and CAA-expert Claudia. We’re going to miss you!!

So nice to see our @free_bily project featured in this beautiful eMagazine!
