As part of the Schistosoma spp. Life Cycle Training Course offered by the Schistosomiasis Resource Center, guest speakers are invited to share their research with course attendees. One of our November 2024 speakers was Dr. Zhang from the University of New Mexico who presented “Genomic and genetics of snail resistance to schistosomes.” To learn more about Dr. Zhang and his research: -https://unmsiming.weebly.com/ -https://ceti.unm.edu/our-members/profile/si-ming-zhang.html To learn more about the training course: -https://www.afbr-bri.org/event/schistosoma-spp-life-cycle-training-course/ (fb)
