RFK Jr’s nomination is the repudiation of a century of unprecedented and miraculous progress in public health. We take it for granted because we don’t recognize how far we’ve come. I recently wrote in The Atlantic about what we risk losing. Gift link 👇 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Dear All, I have joined the flow and am on BlueSky now too. I managed to bag parasitematt there. Thanks too all other Matts who like parasites! Come to be my friend or whatever it is called over there. Parasitematt

Congratulations to Dr Kuang-Ting! Expert on the gametocyte surface and structural characteriser of transmission-blocking vaccine immunogens. I’m a proud supervisor!

Congratulations to Dr Richard Zhou! A very proud supervisor again!! Watch out for his lovely paper. Coming soon.

A really fun day out at the UK NK cell meeting. Thanks to Malcolm Sim for organising a fascinating day and for inviting Sam Chamberlain to talk about his studies of how the RIFINs bind to KIR receptors and how this affects NK cell function in malaria.

Congratulations to Sam Chamberlain for winning the best talk prize at today's UK Natural Killer cell meeting!

Really fascinating read here- three of the same CD163 monomers working asymmetrically to allow the uptake of diverse ligands. Don't think I've seen this kind of binding before, nature cooks up some interesting mechanisms sometimes!

#MeetTheLab Introducing the Higgins Lab at Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University this week! Led by #KavliOxford Prof. Matt Higgins, the group studies how parasites invade, acquire nutrients, and evade immunity—guiding better vaccine design. #ParasiteBiology #VaccineResearch
