Did you know that #iron deficiency is protective against #malaria ? We identified 6 putative #iron #transporters as potential drug targets in #Plasmodium and predicted their structures with #AlphaFold #IronBiology #IronHomeostasis #BioIron

Thrilled to share that @FatimaTahaa, my exceptional PhD student, won Best Talk Prize British Society for Parasitology meeting! A testament to her hardwork & dedication to understanding parasite migrationd in host tissues. #ProudSupervisor #BSP2024 Imperial Life Sciences

Our 4th talk of the 'Cellular Heterogeneity' session this morning was from Fatima Taha of Imperial College London who works with Tiengwe Lab & Child Lab who told us about 'Within-Host population dynamics of #Trypanosoma brucei infections.' Review at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Apologies for some internet issues during #BSP2024 Day 3! We had some amazing speakers this morning! Here are a few of our excellent 'Cellular Heterogeneity' session speakers: Dr James Wasmuth, Lara López Escobar, Dr Gabriel Rinaldi, Fatima Taha, & Dr Jim Collins!
