This is the last day to submit an abstract for MPMXXXV. I can't wait to read your great work🤩

Very proud of this highly collaborative paper with the Shaun Mahony Remo Rohs and Gordân labs in which we explore how ApiAP2 transcription factors with similar DNA binding specificities define their target genes, a ubiquitous challenge in all cells! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…?

We just posted a preprint on nucleoside transporters in Toxoplasma. We reported their effects on replication and differentiation, showing that not all are localized in the parasite's plasma membrane. Tldr, transporters are fun. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Read our new paper: Cryptosporidium impacts epithelial turnover and is resistant to induced death of the host cell by Bethan Wallbank out today in mBio. Great team effort with Ryan Pardy ChrisHunter Igor Brodsky journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Infected = not apoptotic:

It's really sad, this closure of veupathdb.org It deprives thousands of parasitologists around the world... At a time when the world is questioning democracy, this illiberal act endangers global research on endemic and neglected diseases. science.org/content/articl…

Funders (European Research Council (ERC), Wellcome, UK Research and Innovation , BMBF ....) unite! We are losing the most important bioinformatic ressource (@EUpathdb) that underpins parasitology research across the most important pathogens. science.org/content/articl…

Full room at the BRC resources discussion #KMCB2024 by NIAID PO Brown & VEuPathDB PI Roos. Extreme dismay over global impact of NIAID decision, but sustained applause at news that VEuPathDB will return, through generosity of Fdn Adv Sci/Med, Open Philanthropy Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Penn & UGA

Cheers to Christine Clayton, an incredible scientist who has taught us so much about RNA biology of African trypanosomes. #KMCB2024 parasitesrule

👏 Félicitations au Pr. Artur Scherf, lauréat du Prix Duquesne 2024 pour ses recherches sur Plasmodium falciparum, parasite du paludisme. Ses travaux ont fait avancer la compréhension des mécanismes de virulence, menant à de nouvelles approches pour contrôler l’infection.

The mpmxxxvi organizers have been crowned! #mpmxxxv

Parasite, Fungal & Vector database resources will be coming back online … fill out the form at VEuPathDB.org to be kept informed, and an anonymous survey to help define the future 🔗veupathdb.org

Great way to close out three amazing years of co-organizing #MPM2024 with Lebrun and Bibo Li

Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby NIH Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli
