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 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ 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
