Dr Lauren Carruthers

PhD Student (2017-2020)

Lauren’s PhD research focused on the impact gut bacteria have during infection and treatment of Schistosoma mansoni parasites in the context of the SCHISTO-PERSIST project. She compared the bacterial composition of the stool from individuals from a rural Ugandan community, with high and low schistosome infection intensities and explored how these bacterial structures change post-treatment with the anti-schistosomal drug praziquantel.
