About the BSP - The Council
Dr Karen Grant
Ordinary Council Member
Karen's primary research interest is with the protozoan parasites, Leishmania and Trypanosoma, the infective agents in leishmaniasis and African sleeping sickness respectively. Specifically, she is interested in the interface between biology and chemistry and the translation of advances in basic biology into the development of novel drugs against these parasitic diseases. Work within her laboratory aims to identify and validate novel drug targets, using a combination of molecular biology and classical biochemistry, with a particular interest in protein kinase enzymes and cell cycle control.

BSP Autumn Symposium - Progress in Paediatric Parasitology
23rd September 2010
The BSP Autumn Symposium 2010 will be held on 23rd -24th September 2010 at Durham University's Queens Campus in Stockton on Tees. Run in conjunction with the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, we are stretching the programme over 2 days beginning after lunch on the 23rd and finishing after lunch on the 24th. This approach is being taken to allow people travelling from a distance to spend just one night away from home whilst being able to attend an evening social event. The talks will be given by invited speakers and we will also run a poster session.
