Eating disorders, malaria causing parasites and infectious diseases

Dr Shane is joined in the studio by regular co-hosts Chris KP and Dr Ray, sharing their science news of the week. This week’s guests are Gabriel Lubieniecki, a PhD candidate in the Body Image and Eating Disorders Research Group at Monash University, focussing on the critical role healthcare workers play in the treatment and management of eating disorders. The second guest is Dr Niall Geoghegan, Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Dynamic Imaging at WEHI, researching how the malaria causing parasite, Plasmodium, invades red blood cells and initiates the symptomatic stage of disease, and Dr Natalia Sampan from the Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases at the Hudsons Institute, talking about how our cells detect that they have been infected, and how they fight back.Remember, “science is everywhere”, including:Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go
