We were honoured to receive a Queen’s Anniversary Prize at a special ceremony in Buckingham Palace today for our life-saving tsetse control project Tiny Targets. lstm.ac/QAPrize

We're back with another Journal Club in March! 👥 In this session, Dr Sanjay Curtis Nagi will discuss his latest research on insecticide resistance evolution in Anopheles gambiae 🦟 Read the pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Register ⬇️ sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regist… LSTM Vector Biology

Dr El Hadji Amadou Niang is elected as the new RBM VCWG Co-Chair!! El Hadji will co-lead the RBM VCWG together with Dr Corine Ngufor. Congratulations El Hadji for your new role! A BIG thank you to Justin for his STELLAR leadership over the years!! endmalaria.org/related-materi… 📷

Thank you to everyone who joined our Journal Club with Dr Sanjay Curtis Nagi earlier today 🙌 Couldn't attend or want to revisit the session? The recording is now up on our YouTube channel Watch it here 📽️youtu.be/yWp1ehN785Q LSTM Vector Biology LSTM

Congratulations to Emma Reid from LSTM Vector Biology winner of the LSTM Citizenship award for driving a sustainablity initiative for our labs

and congratulations and thanks to Claire, Clare, Maria and Mary from the LSTM Biological Sciences Faculty for their Staff Excellence award in recognition of their central role in the life and culture of the faculty

More data from the LLINEUP programme- showing how molecular makers of insecticide resistance increased in frequency over the course of the trial. tinyurl.com/4njab7zp

Great data leads to great research. 📑 Check out some of the recent papers out of the Malaria Vector Genome Observatory, including discoveries about insecticide resistance, cryptic species, mosquito dispersal and more: malariagen.net/vobs/#section_… LSTM Vector Biology #WorldMosquitoDay

All killer, no filler

A new blog post from Alistair Miles and I. We present diplotype clustering, a new method in malariagen_data which enables the rapid detection of mutations involved in insecticide resistance in malaria mosquitoes. sanjaycnagi.com/blog/2024-08-1… MalariaGEN

INOVEC: Awards for best student oral presentation A heartfelt congratulations to the outstanding PhD students who were honored with awards at the INOVEC International Conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! 🏆👏 Temesgen Ashine 🇪🇹, Frank Tenywa 🇹🇿 and Borel Tchamen Djiappi 🇨🇲.

Congratulations to all (but especially to Temesgen from the CEASE malaria research project team)
