We are a passionate and collaborative team of parasitologists dedicated to advancing animal and human health. We are driving innovation in diagnosis and treatment of parasitic diseases, particularly those caused by flatworms and apicomplexans. We translate scientific and epidemiological findings into practical solutions and provide reliable expertise to our partners, including researchers, clinicians, public authorities and other stakeholders.
We inspire students with a fascination for parasitology, ensuring that the next generations of clinicians and researchers will pursue our vision of a world with no animal or human suffering from parasitic diseases.
