Yes- Plasmodium merozoites actively glide! See it with your own eyes in this preprint from Kazuhide (Kazu) Yahata, Melissa Hart and Robert Moon. Very happy we could contribute to this work! Gliding motility of Plasmodium merozoites biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

as Ricardo Henriques says, bookmark to explain how FACS works

I am excited to co-supervise this fantastic studentship opportunity to work on Babesia, led by Ellen Knuepfer Researchers_RVC_RA. Project uses CRISPR-Cas9 editing to look at pathogen proteins with potential roles in motility and invasion. Full application details: rvc.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

When you're just so excited to finally be published that you get the zoomies 😍 #theybegliding pnas.org/content/118/48…

PhD project on Babesia available. Please share widely - a really cool project with some really great supervisors available: rvc.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

Stoked to share our latest pre-print! Using cryo-EM, we determined the structure of the PfRCR complex, an essential protein complex required for red blood cell invasion by the deadliest form of malaria. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Moritz runs impressive research, and his new lab I Gulbenkian Ciência is looking to expand. Apply! Also heard he has some really cool neighbour labs 😉

Happy to announce our recent work to dissect the roles of two important malaria invasion proteins is now available in Nature Communications shorturl.at/bHJP1 The fantastic comms team London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has put together a video for us to explain the basics, technical thread to follow!

A really nice opinion piece on our work on merozoites from Danny Wilson and co. We were worried about how some of it would be received (big change in perception). Trick is to convince Danny first! Great to see Melissa Hart and Kazu ky work highlighted and stunning cover!

Happy New Year. Time for a new postdoc position? We are hiring!! Join our friendly, dynamic team to use structural methods to understand human antibody responses to malaria. higginslab.web.ox.ac.uk or Email me for more information about us. Or just apply! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

More recruitment this year, (postdoc and RA positions soon). First we have a fundamental role: our LSHTM malaria CL3 Manager! This is a PERMANENT post, with the role including day to day CL3 management, line management and up to 20% research time LSHTM_malaria

Two great new roles, research assistant and postdoc, to study invasion biology of malaria parasites in my team LSHTM_malaria. Both 4 years and RA has option for P/T PhD. Full details here: RA shorturl.at/nuHM3 Post doc: shorturl.at/fBMV9 Please Share.
