We now must say goodbye and congratulations to our friend\/colleague, Dr. Caroline Sobotyk de Oliveira. Although we are saddened that her post-doctoral term has ended here in the Verocai Lab, we cannot express how proud we are of her accomplishments and her future endeavors she will embark upon. Dr. Sobotyk completed her DVM in 2013 at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) in Brazil. She then earned both an MSc (2015) and PhD (2019) specializing in vector-borne infections, including spotted fever Rickettsia<\/em> and Leishmania<\/em>. After these enormous accomplishments, she made a huge leap to continue her education in a new country! Under the supervision of Dr. Guilherme Verocai, she came to Texas A&M University to complete a Merck-funded NCVP residency training in just two years. Dr. Sobotyk’s list of accomplishments in the Verocai Lab is long and wide-ranging (an exhaustive publication list is detailed below for reference). Most recently she was the recipient of the TAMU VMBS Outstanding Postdoctoral Associate Award. In addition to all her published accomplishments, Dr. Sobotyk brought enthusiastic, positive energy to all things parasitology-related in the lab and persevered during one of the more stranger times in human history (looking at you Covid). Mat\u00e9 tea (chimarr\u00e3o) in hand (and sometimes brigadeiro, a lab favorite!), it’s hard to imagine her not racing through the lab with a cheerful grin and enviable amounts of scientific curiosity (only matched when something like the printer breaks down). Now she starts a new adventure as a Assistant Professor of Clinical Parasitology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. She will be greatly missed, but we are so proud of all she has done here in the Verocai Lab and look forward to her bright parasitology future! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, we all wish you the best of luck at UPenn!!!! (Go Quakers?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
