Dr. Nicole LePera Acceptance of others as they are and for who they are. Just showing love.

The detection of Anopheles coluzzi in Kenya despite samples having been collected as early as 2006 is now published. malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

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.

Congrats to the DR Najat Kahamba Najat -just passed her brilliant PhD on the ecology of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus. Thx to examiners @MafaldaSViana & Luigi Sedda, & @JMatthiopoulos Fredros Okumu Luca Nelli Francesco Baldini VectorsGlasgow UofG SBOHVM Ifakara Health Institute

We VectorsGlasgow are at Sapienza Università di Roma 🇮🇹 Dr @magonji kicking off #infraredspectroscopy workshop for #vector-borne disease surveillance Thank you CIVIS - Europe's Civic University Alliance for funding University of Glasgow #Internationalisation #EuropeanUniversities 🇪🇺 UofG SBOHVM University of Glasgow Chemistry

And now Ivan Casas on the first practical session on how to scan #mosquitoes using #infraredspectroscopy to measure key entomological traits

Ivan Casas Now Sophie Mwinyi on #MachineLearning practical Sophia is a PhD student UofG SBOHVM and research scientist Ifakara Health Institute

Wonderful week Sapienza Università di Roma delivering a workshop on #InfraredSpectroscopy for #vector-borne disease surveillance VectorsGlasgow 🙏 to instructors @magonji University of Glasgow Chemistry & Ivan Casas UofG SBOHVM & Sophie Mwinyi Ifakara Health Institute 🙏 to hosts #AlessandradellaTorre #MattiaFoti

and this is 3 minutes before Joel Odero, PhD viva with Heather Ferguson 🎶"It's the final countdown" 🎶

Poor Joel Odero, PhD - I had temporarily stopped subjecting PhD students to this pre-viva air guitar pep talk - but I couldn't resist today. Well - he ended up passing with no corrections. Coincidence? I think not... #FinalCountdown @vectorsglasgow

Excited to attend the Ifakara Annual Scientific Conference—groundbreaking research and brilliant minds all in one place. #IASC2024

Meet Sophie Mwinyi, a Research Scientist at Ifakara Health Institute and a PhD student at the University of Glasgow Read about her journey in malaria genomics and her recent work contributing to the identification of a cryptic mosquito taxon on the coast of East Africa 🦟 malariagen.net/article/a-cryp…

🧬DISCOVERY: 🦟New distinct mosquito found along Tanzania's coast 🌊🇹🇿 🌍 Scientists at Ifakara Health Institute & global partners – University of Glasgow & Wellcome Sanger Institute – have uncovered a new mosquito species on Tanzania’s coast – the Pwani molecular form. It’s genetically unique & reacts

📝 BLOG: Why this new mosquito discovery matters to YOU! 🧐 🌍💥 🆕 This new Ifakara Health Institute blog is based on the latest #MolecularEcology journal article 📚 which reports the discovery of a new, distinct mosquito species 🦟along 🇹🇿Tanzania’s coast 🌊 – named pwani for now 🔬.
