Intrigued by ecoimmunology and have microbiome experience? We have a postdoc position open for our project working on wild house mice - join us to disentangle the contribution of diet, the gut microbiota and the immune system in shaping parasite responses! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

We are hiring a lab technician! Join Francesco Baldini and me if you want to learn how to maintain mosquitoes colonies and do cool infrared spectroscopy experiments. The position is for 3 months, ideally for students finishing their undergrad or master my.corehr.com/pls/uogrecruit…

Reagent-free detection of Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections in field-collected mosquitoes ~ Here, we demonstrate the first field-application of mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to swiftly and accurately detect P. falciparum sporozoites in wild-caught

Now with link: I will have two postdoc positions and a technical post in my new(ish) lab in UCL. One biased to wet experiments with chemoattractant gradients, and one more based on modelling and maths. But both posts encompassing both. Drop me a line! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Fantastic opportunity for early career academics to join us! UofG SBOHVM University of Glasgow

We are making great progress in enhancing malaria screening tests for large population surveys ~ Malaria screening in large populations requires a method that is both low-cost and highly sensitive so that we can pick up even those infections with very very low parasite densities.

Fully funded PhD available in my group! We want to assess how biodiversity in urban greenspaces is related to human population health in Glasgow. Will combine biodiversity data on several taxa with analysis of AMR genes in soils to explain spatial variation in human health.

Big news: We just released PLM-interact, a tool for predicting protein-protein interactions, showing a 16-28% improvement over previous methods and even predicting mutation effects on interactions. Here’s the story behind this journey. 🧵👇
