With our latest MalDA meeting coming to an end, we would like to celebrate all of the hardworking #malaria researchers that make this collaboration so successful. Thanks for the insightful discussions and great #science!

Check out this bioRxiv article on genome engineering in #malaria parasites from a MALDA member lab! The AT-rich P. falciparum genome is extremely challenging to manipulate, so this is some truly exciting work from Jacquin Niles' group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Out now in CellChemicalBiology: "Combining Stage Specificity and Metabolomic Profiling to Advance Antimalarial Drug Discovery." Great work by MalDA team members including Manuel Llinas & Winzeler Lab, spearheaded by The Fidock Lab's @MurithiJamesM! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For the first time, global efforts are preventing almost 100 million cases of #malaria every year. šŸ™Œ This is great news, but World Health Organization (WHO)'s report shows that the decline in cases & deaths has slowed significantly. We must accelerate progress to #EndMalaria. gates.ly/35pLhVO

A new drug target for stopping the spread of malaria has been found after a Cell Reports study led by @DrBoddey blocked Plasmodium falciparum from completing the ā€˜transmission stage’ of its lifecycle. In collaboration with Griffith University wehi.edu.au/news/new-drug-…

Great work by several MalDA members and collaborators showing that a rapamycin analog targets #Plasmodium FKBP35. Out now in ACS Med Chem Lett! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Looking to recruit a molecular biologist as a postdoc to our lab to work on Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance and drug modes of action. To join a vibrant team at the Columbia university medical center in New York, working closely with Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) and MalDA Consortium

Hot off the press! We have identified and characterized MFR3, a novel multidrug resistance mediator in P. falciparum. Read all about it in Infectious Diseases: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
