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/10.110ā¦

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/articlā¦

For the first time, global efforts are preventing almost 100 million cases of #malaria every year. š 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 ātransmission stageā of its lifecycle. In collaboration with Griffith University wehi.edu.au/news/new-drug-ā¦




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/acā¦


Looking forward to @ElizabethWinze1 giving the Craig Lecture this morning at the Alan Magill Sumposium today at #TropMed20. Superb scientist leading the MalDA Consortium consortium funded by Gates Foundation

Congratulations to MalDA member The Fidock Lab on this wonderful and well-deserved accomplishment!

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

Out now in Trends in Parasitology: Learn all about how the Malaria Drug Accelerator facilitates rapid #drugdiscovery through collaboration. Featuring the work of multiple Winzeler Lab members and all of our wonderful colleagues in MalDA Consortium! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14ā¦

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/acā¦
