So grateful to be part of these spectacular communities @ACasadevall1 lab @JohnsHopkinsMMI @JohnsHopkinsSPH

Join us in Baltimore on May 28 & 29 for our 29th annual Vector Encounter. Kick off summer with learning, networking & fun with many of the world's leading vector experts. When you register, don't forget to add Thursday's Maryland steamed crab feast! 🦀🔨publichealth.jhu.edu/malaria-resear…

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

Dr. Shengzhang Dong of the Johns Hopkins #Malaria Research Institute engineers transgenic #mosquitoes in the quest to produce mosquitoes that don't transmit disease. He presented his latest research at the @ASTMH 2025 Annual Meeting. #Iamtropmed

“This study opens the door for future research into these adaptations & the identification of urban fungal species that may emerge as potential human pathogens in the near future,” said @JohnsHopkinsSPH researcher & @ACasadevall1 Lab member @Danfqsmith earth.com/news/city-fung…

Johns Hopkins epidemiologist Dr. Amy Wesolowski explains her work as part of a community of scientists from around the world working together on problems involving #malaria.

We ran into an old friend in Toronto! Dr. Sungano Mharakurwa, director of the #Malaria Program at Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe! Dr. Mharakurwa helped start the Johns Hopkins Malaria Institute nearly 25 years ago. #IAmTropMed

It's Day 3 of ASTMH 2025 and the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute is bringing you highlights. Our friend Dr. Himanshu Gupta from GLA University tells us about his exciting research to see if mRNA can be used as a biomarker for severe #malaria. Spoiler alert: it can!

📢📢 📢 MMI Published Research | Casadevall Lab A recent study published in @ISME_microbes @ISMEComms finds that some fungi may adapt to higher temperatures in urban areas Read more about the study here ⬇️ publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/urban-fun… Link to study here ⬇️ academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…

Fascinating and challenging work with outstanding collaborations @ACasadevall1 @MosquitoExpert @radajbcordero and many more @JohnsHopkinsMMI @CUNY L-DOPA an integrative and ecological safe approach to control malaria and protect the biosphere ✨

Beautiful note about latest published work. Thanks to JHMRI outstanding support! instagram.com/reel/DO9O5NFkh…

@RubayetElahi @JohnsHopkinsMMI Thanks Rubayet!

@Emma_BCC @JohnsHopkinsMMI Congratulations!

Last week my first author research article in the malaria field was published in nature.com/articles/s4146… What a exciting and challenging journey @JohnsHopkinsMMI May this be the first of may more- looking forward to reading your comments and questions✨

@iliciub1 @JohnsHopkinsMMI Thanks Ilinca!

@Emma_BCC @JohnsHopkinsMMI Congrats, Emma & team!! 🌟

Thank you to this week's Postdoc Summer Research Forum presenters -- @JohnsHopkinsSPH Postdoctoral Fellows Caire Barreto, PhD, of @JohnsHopkinsMMI Dimopoulos Lab and Murilo Ramos Rocha, PhD, of @JohnsHopkinsBMB Weeraratna Lab @AshaniTW!

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT in #G3journal @ACasadevall1 and team published several chromosome-level genome assemblies and annotations of Lomentospora prolificans, a fungal pathogen responsible for serious, often fatal illnesses in immunocompromised patients: buff.ly/WjblIKz

Thank you, @ACasadevall1, for your vision, leadership, passion, and countless hours of dedication to #mBio! What an amazing journey it's been, and the work to continue building on what you established will go on. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

⏳ 2 days until the #WorldMalariaDay Symposium! We’re bringing together global minds to rethink mosquito biology, gene editing, and malaria elimination. Don't miss it! 📍 @JohnsHopkinsSPH 📅 April 25 #BuildABetterMosquito

@RubayetElahi Congratulations!!!🎉

Good news amid all these turmoil in our lives. Our TilS paper found its home in EMBO Reports. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
