2 fully-funded 4 year #GenRes PhDs Biology at York ! JUST 5 DAYS LEFT ! 1) biochemistry/plant science/biotechnology 2) infection/microbiome/bioinformatics generationresearch.ac.uk/phd-and-master… Looking for enthusiastic and motivated students, especially from underrepresented backgrounds

On the way back from Genetic Biocontrol GRC/GRS 2024. Great scientific content and such a nice environment to meet and collaborate with colleagues in the field. Massive thanks to the chairs Omar Akbari Yoosook Lee @ Valerie! So looking forward to the next one!

A peek behind the scenes! The Alphey Lab group is investigating using genetic methods to control mosquito-borne diseases

If you ever run out of promoters to use for Anopheles stephensi transgenesis, try this out! 😀 Great work getting this out team. @ Joshua Southworth Michelle Anderson Estela González 🏳️‍🌈 Mireia Larrosa

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research. Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Great Job Serafima Davydova I am very happy to share our SCIC paper doi.org/10.1186/s12915… Omar Akbari Junru Liu 刘俊儒 Nikolay Kandul Jackson Champer Dept. of Agriculture Imperial College London Imperial Life Sciences

We engineered a CRISPR/Cas9 gene drive in Anopheles stephensi targeting the doublesex gene — aiming to disrupt malaria transmission at its source 🦟🧬 Promising inheritance, some fertility hurdles — but a big step forward! 📖 Read it here: parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

✨🦟✨HOW DO MOSQUITOES HAVE SEX? ✨🦟✨ Join us for a wild journey into female control, rapidly evolving genital stimulation, fierce species competition, and DEADLY MOSQUITOES! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚀 New paper out in Scientific Reports! We showed that not all RNA Pol III promoters are created equal—different promoters drive varying homing efficiencies in An. stephensi! 🧬✨ Congrats to the team! 👏 Estela González 🏳️‍🌈 Michelle Anderson Joshua Ang Philip Leftwich nature.com/articles/s4159…

🧬 Delighted to share our new review on synthetic HEG drives in Ae. aegypti. We examine challenges, propose the CHIROS framework to guide future dev, and discuss paths forward for this vector control strategy.
