Preventable and treatable, yet thousands of people still succumb to malaria annually. Read key take-aways from our article series👇. Together, let's #EndMalaria! up.ac.za/up-institute-f… #Malaria #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #MalariaAwareness #innovation #upismc #lifechangers

Unlocking malaria's secrets through machine learning. ML algorithms range from simple to complex processes and can be used for malaria control. How? See Ashley van Heerden's paper. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10… #malariaresearch #MachineLearning #DrugDiscovery #UPISMC #LifeChangers

Conferences provide students with opportunities to share their findings and grow academically. As the year concludes, we celebrate our postgrads and their work.👇 up.ac.za/up-institute-f… #malaria #malariaresearch #postgraduatestudents #ResearchDissemination #upismc #lifechangers

Goodbye 2023. As the year draws to a close, we extend warm wishes for the holidays. Thank you to all our researchers, partners and collaborators. Here's to a year ahead filled with more collaboration and shared successes. #Malaria #malariaresearch #upismc #lifechangers

My first ever expanded P. falciparum parasites. Just amazing how cool this parasite looks when expanded!! A massive thanks and shout out to Sabrina Absalon and Ben Liffner. Thanks for all your help and guidance as well as Africa Microscopy Initiative for the use of their facility.

Throwback Thursday What a positive start to the year! A group of our researchers recently met with the CEO of RBM Partnership. The meeting was highly productive, setting a promising tone for collaboration in the year ahead. #malaria #EndMalaria #collaboration #upismc #lifechangers

Amazing news for drug discovery and Africa!

Genetic complexity alters drug susceptibility of asexual and gametocyte stages of P. falciparum to antimalarial candidates. How? Read Nicola Greyling's paper! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… or malaria.up.ac.za #Malaria #antimalarial #gametocytes #drugsusceptibility #lifechangers

A collab study and paper between researchers from University of Pretoria, McGill University and University Laval, looked at environmental toxins & epigenetic inheritance. Read more: up.ac.za/up-institute-f… malaria.up.ac.za #epigenetics #healthimpacts #malaria #researchthatmatters #lifechangers

Getting certified malaria-free by the WHO is not an easy task. Read our article about Cabo Verde's journey and challenges to achieving this important milestone. up.ac.za/up-institute-f… #Malaria #MalariaFree #CaboVerde #GlobalHealth #WHO #MilestoneAchievement #EndMalaria

What do baby diapers, microscopy and malaria have in common? Our researchers have achieved the 1st ultra-structure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) of malaria parasites in SA.👇 up.ac.za/up-institute-f… #Malaria #plasmodium #microscopy #parasitebiology #m2pl #upismc #lifechangers

This will never get old! A fully segmented P. falciparum schizont. Feels wrong to say malaria parasites look cool but damm this looks cool 🤣🤩. #ExM #malaria #microscopy

What an amazing experience visiting the Africa Microscopy Initiative 🔬Using the latest LSM980 Zeiss microscope to capture >160 ExM parasite images 🤩 Just look how pretty those microtubules are 🤭. Some really cool and interesting stuff on its way!! Watch the space.

Excellent, Henrico! One of our PhD students doing amazing work in our Parasite Control Cluster. Enjoy the conference #m2pl #upismc #lifechangers
