Looking for a #ResearchTechnician to join us @IGCiencia! If you're interested in studying how malaria gametocytes remodel their host cell, join our @WellcomeTrust funded project by applying here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/230940 Deadline 23rd of May. Please RT!

Excited to share our new pre-print from my PhD Pontus Skoglund & Post-doc with Lucy van Dorp ✨Ancient Borrelia genomes document the evolutionary history of louse-borne relapsing fever 🧐 💀 🦠biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very concerned about message popping up on TrytrypDB: "We encourage you to download any information you rely upon [...] as soon as possible". We and many others absolutely rely on these data! What will remain after 14 September? tritrypdb.org/tritrypdb/app

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. British Society for Parasitology Aust Soc for Para ASTMH Trends in Parasitology ASP-Parasitologists parasitesrule PEERs in Parasitology (PiP)

This threatens the ability of researchers around the world to battle important diseases. Malaria, chagas, cryptosporidiosis, and leishmaniasis are just a few of those affected. Why is #NIAID choosing to obstruct its own research goals despite unanimous opposition from scientists?

👇Couldn't agree more, and in fact "significant mistake" is likely an understatement... Decisions about funding for such broadly used resources should include a consultation with the user community.

I am over the moon excited that the last first author paper from my PhD in the AnkarklevLab is out in Nature Communications today! It was a wonderful team effort with @JVR_Lab, Emma Andersson, Noémi Van Hul, Charlotte Scott and Joakim Lundeberg! nature.com/articles/s4146…

#CRISPR #screens are now widely used and we show how mutants within a pool affect each other in a paracrine fashion. We believe the implications are major for anybody doing CRISPR screens, way beyond the Toxoplasma field! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to have our first paper out! With huge thanks to collaborators, Mathieu Gissot @KayvonPedram, kind reviewers and the team at mSphere for a smooth experience. Happy expanding!

Now that I am going through safety inductions, pretty safe to announce that I have moved to UofG Sii to start a lab funded by Medical Research Council Career Development Award!

📢 Hiring a research technician! Interested in parasite biology? Fancy gaining expertise in messing with genes in malaria parasites? Then apply! findajob.dwp.gov.uk/details/151626… (everyone else, pls help out a guy and RT 🙏) A TL;DR below 👇DM/email me for enquiries

It's a GRA12 world and we're just living in it! We performed CRISPR screens to identify conserved virulence factors across Toxoplasma clonal and atypical strains and the top hit is a͟l͟w͟a͟y͟s GRA12! and, for the first time, in all mouse subspecies!thread👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to have my image on the cover of mBio Isn't the #intestine pretty?! Want to see more? Check out our publication that goes with it! Boris Striepen ChrisHunter journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Full room at the BRC resources discussion #KMCB2024 by NIAID PO Brown & VEuPathDB PI Roos. Extreme dismay over global impact of NIAID decision, but sustained applause at news that VEuPathDB will return, through generosity of Fdn Adv Sci/Med, Open Philanthropy Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Penn & UGA

My commentary on the closure of VectorBase. Join me in rallying for its sustainable continuation. Comment, repost, and circulate. Let’s ensure this vital resource remains accessible for our global #VectorBiology research community.

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

Congratulations Dr. Rodrigues! Elena And a big thank you to Mattie Christine Pawlowic and Avinash Shenoy for serving as examiners. We are so proud!

Dr. Rodrigues!! it's been a wonderful 4 years Sateriale Lab

Targeted CRISPR Screens Reveal Genes Essential for Cryptosporidium Survival in the Host Intestine (full thread in the other place!) Lucy Watson biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting news!!! Our latest review is now out in Current Opinion in Microbiology Elsevier. We outline how CRISPR-Cas9 technology is revolutionizing the study of parasites🦠. Franziska Hildebrandt @Moritz_Treeck doi.org/10.1016/j.mib.…
