DESCRIPTION:Supported by the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative\, the
  Lister Science Chats connects members of the community through live scien
 ce talks with researchers from the ºÚÁÏÉç Faculty of Agricultural and Envi
 ronmental Sciences. This chat features three Macdonald Campus graduate stu
 dents giving an engaging 10-minute talk on their research and will conclud
 e with a Q&A period.    \n\nNo registration required. Join us live on ZOOM
 \n\nSpeakers:\n\nAna Madrigal\, PhD candidate\, Institute of ParasitologyP
 arasites: a novel treatment for rheumatoid arthritis \n\nParasitic infecti
 ons have been linked to lower incidences of inflammatory and autoimmune di
 seases. More specifically\, Helminths have been proven to have anti-inflam
 matory immune regulation capabilities. We want to test whether H. polygyru
 s and its products can lower inflammation in a mouse model of rheumatoid a
 rthritis (RA). Through the extracting of these products\, we could find a 
 component that could be used as treatment against RA.\n\nDaniel Moses\, MS
 c student\, Institute of ParasitologyStructural analysis of Kinetoplastid 
 RNA Editing Ligase 1\n\nParasites cause millions of deaths a year. My rese
 arch focuses on an essential protein in Kinetoplastid parasites KREL1. I a
 imed to narrow down specific parts of this protein that is crucial for fun
 ction. Four amino acids of KREL1 have proven to be an attractive target fo
 r drug therapy. \n\nMojtaba Rostamighadi\, PhD candidate\, Institute of Pa
 rasitologyFinding novel drugs for Kinetoplastid diseases \n\nTriTryps dise
 ases are devastating parasitic neglected infections caused by Leishmania s
 pp.\, Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei. They cause high rates of m
 orbidity and mortality in tens of millions of patients in endemic areas\, 
 with cases of Chagas’ disease recently reported in North America. Due to t
 he toxicity and parasite drug resistance to the current available treatmen
 ts\, developing novel drugs that selectively inhibit essential parasite-sp
 ecific pathways/proteins is vital. \n
