Combining beer and biology, Texas Biomed teamed up with San Antonio's
Taste of Science for an event in March at
Kunstler Brewing. Professor
Tim Anderson, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor
Ian Cheeseman, Ph.D., told the crowd about "A Day in the Life of a Parasitologist." The researchers talked about their research involving malaria and shistosomiasis, two infectious diseases caused by parasites that kill thousands of people around the world every year. Our scientists enjoy sharing their work and teaming up with community groups like Taste of Science to help educate the public about these important health issues.
