The parasites went all the way to the ANU Division of Biomedical Science & Biochemistry morning tea today! Oh my leech! π It was such a warm and fun morning! #ANUπ¦πΊ #Parasitology
Excited to start the year with this lovely paper with Elaine Tao showing that drugs that inhibit sodium channels bind in a range of sites within the pore cavity rather having a single distinct pose. Journal of General Physiology Science & Medicine at ANU NCI Australia
π Exciting News! Our new review paper has just been published in Trends in Parasitology ! π§ Parasite Infections: how inflammation alters brain function Full article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articlβ¦ #Parasitology #Neuroinflammation LuΓsa MagalhΓ£es Lilian Lacerda Bueno - PhD Ricardo_Fujiwara
Big congratulations to Ruitao Jin ιηζΆ for winning an Anders Early Career Award at Lorne Proteins #lorneproteins2025 ! Presenting his work on the lipid lined pore of the OSCA mechanosensitive channel.
Big congratulations to the very sharp Elaine Tao who submitted her PhD last week! Our greatest Nav channel expert is rumoured to be joining the dark side of Kv. #drtao #phdone ourANU Science & Medicine at ANU πͺππ©βπ¬π©βπ
Thrilled to share our latest preprint from YC Lin π§ͺπ©π»βπ» & Ciara Wallis showing AF2-Multimer and AF3 can quickly & accurately predict the oligomeric states & structures of proteins (& maybe can identify multiple biologically relevant oligomeric states π) tiny.cc/oligomers
Also bittersweet to announce the final work of Elaine Tao in our lab, using AF2 to study conformational transitions in 32 voltage-gated channel superfamily members π€© we're so excited to watch you Nav-igate the next steps of your career, Dr. Tao π© tiny.cc/VSD-AF2
Excited to share John Tanner's new work in Nat Coms! We demonstrate how PfCRT, a polyspecific peptide transporter, turns into a drug transporter for antimalarials like chloroquine and why this causes a fitness cost for the malaria parasite (1/2) tiny.cc/PfCRT
