Our preprint on metabolic regulation of sexual commitment in malaria parasites is now available doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…. Great collaboration by Chantal Harris, PhD and others in my lab with rheelab @DeitschKirk Maria M. Mota. Women In Parasitology @BParasitology


New blog post! 🥳 In this post on BMC BugBitten i've summarised our recent systematic review findings on the impact of mass drug administration on evolving #resistance in #malaria #parasites bugbitten Blog: blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2023… The review: malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

At the LSHTM_malaria Malaria Centre Retreat this year in Canterbury, I got a room of malariologists to get creative with play-doh… the results are incredible 1 - schizont 2 - microscopist looking at a ring stage parasite 3 - mosquito larvae 4 - adult mosquito feeding


Back from a few wonderful weeks in Kalongo, collecting and processing malaria blood samples for transcriptomics. Thanks to IDRCUganda and @TeunBousema Radboudumc wetenschap for a great collaboration and to London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine for a doctoral travel grant 🇺🇬


Ever wonder how LysoPC availability regulates heterochromatin maintenance and sexual differentiation in P. falciparum? Check out our study in Nature Microbiology. Amazing team effort led by Chantal Harris, PhD with rheelab @DeitschKirk Maria M. Mota. tinyurl.com/LysoPC2GCs

Extremely proud and impressed today listening to my PhD supervisor’s (Susana Campino) inaugural lecture at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Thanks for supporting me and making me believe that girls can do anything, sorry about the stress at the end 😉 x






Last night we hosted a reception in partnership with LSHTM Alumni to bring together centre members, alumni, and prospective students. Thanks to all who joined us!


Aaaaand more presentations from yesterday and this morning! It’s great to see the breadth of research presented by London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine researchers at Multilateral Initiative on Malaria.


Had a fantastic time being back in Kigali last week for the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria conference! It was great meeting researchers from around the world and hearing about their exciting malaria research. Honoured to present our findings in a talk and poster, and to receive a best poster award!







🎤 Our centre member, Leen Vanheer presented at the Gordon Malaria Conference! Her talk and poster focused on molecular surveillance of antimalarial resistance in Plasmodium falciparum across 15 districts in Ethiopia 🇪🇹—a timely study amid the country’s malaria resurgence.
