The nanosd integral gene drive enables population modification of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_synbio
🧬 Delighted to share our new review on synthetic HEG drives in Ae. aegypti. We examine challenges, propose the CHIROS framework to guide future dev, and discuss paths forward for this vector control strategy. @s_verkuijl @michell56085624 @AlpheyLab kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…
🚀 New paper out in @SciReports! We showed that not all RNA Pol III promoters are created equal—different promoters drive varying homing efficiencies in An. stephensi! 🧬✨ Congrats to the team! 👏 @AEstadea @michell56085624 @joshxdang @PhilipLeftwich nature.com/articles/s4159…
✨🦟✨HOW DO MOSQUITOES HAVE SEX? ✨🦟✨ Join us for a wild journey into female control, rapidly evolving genital stimulation, fierce species competition, and DEADLY MOSQUITOES! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We engineered a CRISPR/Cas9 gene drive in Anopheles stephensi targeting the doublesex gene — aiming to disrupt malaria transmission at its source 🦟🧬 Promising inheritance, some fertility hurdles — but a big step forward! 📖 Read it here: parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research. Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

A peek behind the scenes! The @AlpheyLab group is investigating using genetic methods to control mosquito-borne diseases
2 fully-funded 4 year #GenRes PhDs @BiologyatYork ! JUST 5 DAYS LEFT ! 1) biochemistry/plant science/biotechnology 2) infection/microbiome/bioinformatics generationresearch.ac.uk/phd-and-master… Looking for enthusiastic and motivated students, especially from underrepresented backgrounds
On the way back from Genetic Biocontrol GRC/GRS 2024. Great scientific content and such a nice environment to meet and collaborate with colleagues in the field. Massive thanks to the chairs @Omar_Akbari_ @LeeYoosook @ Valerie! So looking forward to the next one!
