The great effort in generating an efficacious malaria vaccine from discovering the PfRH5 antigen has been enormous. In this review, @ilani_philip and @NPKAY24 take us through the journey to having something in a vial to be tested. rdcu.be/ejaQM

Our @Marti_Paoletta scalable CRISPR-Cas9 system (PbHiT) in Plasmodium berghei is now published in Nucleic Acids Research 🥂 doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… (Detailed overview in my previous 🧵 below) @Bushell_Lab @umeauniversity @mims_umea @womeninmalaria

Are you interested in #trypanosomes #biomolecularcondensates and/or #geneexpression? We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to work with with us in the beautiful city of York! @UniOfYork @YBRI_UoY @BiologyatYork Please RT! jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo…

📢#Postdoc opportunities: we are looking for two experienced and motivated researcher to join our WT funded projects on the role of the #Toxoplasma #mitochondria during #infection jobs.gla.ac.uk/job/research-a…

Postdoc project aimed at improving CRISPR scalability and targeting in Plasmodium berghei, with a chance to spend time in @HaapaniemiLab CRISPR lab and in our malaria lab. Information and links to apply below, or contact me or Emma for more information.

FINALLY ONLINE 🥳 In our @Marti_Paoletta pre-print (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) we present a scalable CRISPR system in Plasmodium berghei called PbHiT, providing detailed protocols and construct designs for anyone to use! 🧵@Bushell_Lab @umeauniversity @mims_umea @womeninmalaria

Pipettes down. Freezers emptied. Tables scrubbed (sort of). Lab coats hung up. It's the end of an era. The Blackman Lab (1991 - 2024) officially closed yesterday 🥹.

! Stop judging a paper by its Journal's impact factor ! There is a less skewed way: the Relative Citation Ratio. The number of citations of a paper is normalised within that very specific research field. Type a name here : icite.od.nih.gov/analysis With thanks to @GEWard14

I'll be participating with my family in the #gaza5k to raise money for @UNRWA an organization that provides much needed humanitarian help to Palestinian refugees. Sadly today UNRWA's work is needed more than ever. Join us in NY or support us. please RT getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/525…

"Diverse and weakly immunogenic var gene expression facilitates malaria infection" with @RadulescuOvidi1 and @TravassosMark ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ - This preprint is var genes heavy. It may not be suitable for non var-wolfs. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our times.

Today, @WHO published the World Malaria Report 📑 which explores the impacts of climate change on #malaria transmission. Robust surveillance 📈 is critical in ensuring malaria programmes can respond to the impact of changing weather. Read more 📰#COP28 brnw.ch/21wETZV

Hey @Citi973 @PulseGhana @tv3_ghana @TheGhanaWeb @JoyNewsOnTV @citinewsroomgh is everything you are covering today more important than this? Do the needful & support ur people to innovate & improve our condition. Retweet my people, let's see if there is any hope for our media ✌️🏾

Calling all #mitochondria and #Parasite enthusiasts 📣 #PhD project on offer with our lab and colleagues 👇 gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/d…

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

In order to replicate, malaria parasites must get inside our red blood cells. How do they do it, and how do antibodies which block red blood cell invasion work? Check out our latest discoveries @eLife in a study led by Abhishek elifesciences.org/articles/83681

great news at #BG23 -- @SangerToL have released a big pile of wet lab protocols to make great reference genomes. check out our ToL workspace at protocols.io/workspaces/wel…

If you’re interested in high-throughput DNA barcoding using Oxford @nanopore MinION, but you've never tried any bioinformatics workflows, you might like to learn about ONTbarcoder. It's a great piece of software for DNA barcodes that are protein-coding genes like COI, which are…
