9/14 Thanks to our great collaborators from Tim Gilgeber’s lab @cssbhamburg.bsky.social and @nishaphilip.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social , we validated some more complexes using fluorescence microscopy and pull-downs, like an exported complex in Maurer’s clefts and MON1/CCZ1/RMC1 complex.

If you are passionate about #drug discovery, #malaria , post-translational modifications and stress responses we have fully-funded #PhD opportunities. MRC #DiMeN DTP (deadline 4th Dec) and BBSRC #Eastbio (15th Dec).

A divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein promotes Plasmodium ookinete infection of the mosquito Author summary Malaria parasites complete their life-cycle within mammalian and mosquito hosts requiring specialised forms to invade and establish infection in host tissue. In order to transmit to the...

Delighted to report our publication on a divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein that regulates malaria transmission to mosquitoes. Great work by Domi Kwecka , @jennyregan.bsky.social @choel Kim #malaria #ookinete #mosquitoes #signalling journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Shameful! Eventually they will just focus on their basketball team!

🔬✨'Women in Malaria' peer-to-peer workshop at #EMBLMalaria

♀️ This informal session brought together women across the #malaria community to share experiences, challenges, and strategies for navigating their careers and shaping the field.

Grateful for the openness, insights, and energy in the room 🙌🏼

Session 3 at #EMBLMalaria – 'Vectors and transmission' – is underway 🦟🔍

Time for another keynote lecture!

⭐🎙️ Sarah Reece – University of Edinburgh, UK
➡️ 'It’s about time! Daily rhythms in malaria infections matter for parasite survival and transmission'

Final presentation of the day - Ker Memorial Lecture given by Prof Andy Waters @uofglasgow.bsky.social - Malaria parasite transmission: towards the end of the beginning?

I have resigned my Fellowship of the #RoyalSociety due to their Council's inability to act proportionately on #ElonMusk.

We are supposed to receive a shipment next week. Will let you know if there are hiccups.

A divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein promotes Plasmodium ookinete infection of the mosquito Colonisation of the mosquito by the malarial parasite is critically reliant on the invasive ookinete stage. Ookinete invasion of mosquito is coordinated by the apical complex, a specialised parasite s...

📣📣 🦟 Wondering what the putative EPAC in Plasmodium does. See our new study characterising a cryptic cyclic nucleotide binding protein required for mosquito infection by the ookinete. Well done Domi Kwecka and team #ookinete #malaria
