Great news that The BMJ have agreed to make this article on co-infections in #malaria freely available for the next month AulaA Kaduni Bawa Jane Achan Edwin

Two great new roles, research assistant and postdoc, to study invasion biology of malaria parasites in my team LSHTM_malaria. Both 4 years and RA has option for P/T PhD. Full details here: RA shorturl.at/nuHM3 Post doc: shorturl.at/fBMV9 Please Share.

Merchandise loaded, ready to drive to Canterbury for our annual LSHTM_malaria retreat tomorrow. LSHTM #malaria researchers unite! 🤓

🦟 #MAM2024 MAM Conference this February was already one of the highlights in 2024! ✨ An amazing group of #EMCR put together a neat summary on what was on offer! Missed out? Do not worry, have a read here! 👇🏻👇🏻 #infectious #diseases

Finally back in London this week after a fantastic 3 month MRC LID placement in Melbourne - big thanks to everyone ZiP Diagnostics for being a lovely group of scientists and for the amazing insight into working in industry! Such a fab opportunity (and bonus summer) 🇦🇺🦘

It was great to meet everyone at MAM Conference #MAM2024 🇦🇺 - check out our #ECR summaries of the sessions here, just out in Trends in Parasitology👇🏻 Big thanks to Rhea Longley for putting this together! LSHTM_malaria

🤔 Reflecting on a successful #MalariaCentreRetreat! It was inspiring to see our members come together to exchange ideas and brainstorm innovative solutions Our dedication to combating malaria remains steadfast, fueled by renewed determination! 💪🦟

I delighted to present our new preprint from Penny’s PhD thesis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Here we show that an active Pf male gametocyte mitochondrion is needed to complete male gametogenesis and thus needed for parasite transmission. LSHTM_malaria 🧵

We're looking for a Higher Scientific Officer to work in our Wellcome Funded Malaria Transmission Facility. Come and work with a nice bunch of people and do cool things. jobs.lshtm.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?i… LSHTM_malaria

Delighted to share our data on an improved blood-stage #malaria #vaccine candidate targeting the conserved and essential RH5 invasion complex now published Nature Communications. Congrats to Barney Williams, Lloyd King and the teams University of Oxford and #NIAID. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The fight against malaria has hit a historic new chapter with the arrival of long-awaited vaccines 💉 This new BBC documentary reveals the story of one of two new malaria vaccines, R21 - from the Oxford lab behind the Covid jab. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

SCREAMS IN MICROBIOLOGY 😬 #Paris2024 #OlympicGames

This is an act of academic vandalism that will hit parasitologists across the globe. I still don’t understand the thinking behind this but just hope a funder can step. Wellcome Michael Chew should take a look at this as it will hit a huge number of wellcome researchers

On this #WorldMosquitoDay, we honour our researchers dedicated to eradicating mosquito-borne diseases. Their relentless efforts save lives every day. 🧵 1/6

Abstract and Symposia submissions are OPEN 🥳 all info on the website!

A really great opportunity for a research technician role in Glasgow! Applications close October 1st ⬇️

Today's the day! Associated with the symposium BSP Autumn Symposium, we are arranging a special issue exploring the biology of parasites within the genital tract of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, and submissions are open! Call for papers: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Funders (European Research Council (ERC), Wellcome, UK Research and Innovation , BMBF ....) unite! We are losing the most important bioinformatic ressource (@EUpathdb) that underpins parasitology research across the most important pathogens. science.org/content/articl…

Our parasite genome databases are really gone! The lack of communication and scientific vision ⁦NIH⁩ is hard to follow. Colossal mistake! ⁦parasitesrule⁩ ⁦British Society for Parasitology⁩ ⁦National Academy of Sciences⁩ ⁦Science Magazine⁩ ⁦nature⁩ ⁦NIAID News⁩
