🇧🇪🤝🇧🇮| Une délégation belge, menée par des experts de l’Institut de Médecine Tropicale (IMT) d’#Anvers, a visité l’@insp_burundi ce 24 mars 2025. 💼 Cette visite, dans le cadre du projet "Malariya Pi" financé par la Fondation Bill Gates via @EnabelauBurundi visait à évaluer la faisabilité d’un centre de recherche sur le paludisme au #Burundi

1 turbo talk and 5 posters from our unit at #ICPvR2025. Want to know more? Find us at @ITMmalaria.bsky.social for updates from our unit.

New applications for the Master of Science in Tropical Medicine at ITM. Come and join!

Fighting malaria across borders! 🦟💪 Over 2 years, our training programme empowered researchers from endemic areas to track & combat #malaria by analysing parasite DNA. Led by our @ITMmalaria experts, participants gained skills to build a healthier future for all. 🌍

@ITMantwerp 🙌🏻

Today, the @VLIRUOS international training programme took off once again 🚀 let's put those computers away, get our hands dirty & make State-of-the-Art P. falciparum DNA libraries. In this pilot study, we create baseline genomic data for csp, the target of the #malaria #vaccine.

@LlinasLab @hanniepower Thanks!

@ITMmalaria @hanniepower Fantastic preprint - congratulations!!

Interested in sequencing #malaria natural infections in the field? 🔬🗺️ Looking for sample prep options compatible with your field settings?🩸 Check out our preprint validating a novel single-cell technology for Plasmodium! 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of Yasmina presenting her work on #haemoglobin beta variants and sexual conversion in Plasmodium falciparum done in collaboration with @ISGLOBALorg and @IrssF in Burkina Faso

We had the most fun training the future generation of malaria control experts with our card game "Malaria Outbreak - the Game" and seeing people dive into the world of parasite microscopy at this year's edition of the @nerdlandbe Festival with @ITMantwerp

Big congratulations to @Pete_M_M, @Ingelbeen, @SalehAljadeeah and @KatlijnDM again, read more about their fascinating projects here

20 sporozoite dice in the making. Wonder what they could possibly be used for? Come visit us at @nerdlandbe festival 🤓 at the @ITMantwerp booth in the nerdland jungle tent ⛺️

Our Dalia! @ITMmalaria

Big congrats to @KatlijnDM for receiving the 3-year junior postdoctoral fellowship of @FWOVlaanderen!🥳 We can’t wait to see what you will find out about #epigenetics in #plasmodium #vivax @ITMantwerp and @unifesp

🦟🔍 Learn about the latest developments in malaria control in Rwanda and discover strategies for achieving elimination. Alumna and PhD student @ArletteU5 will share her insights. 🗓️ 8 May 2024 ⏰ 14:00 (GMT+1) 📝 Register now: itg.be/en/events/itm-… @RBCRwanda @ITMmalaria

🌍🦟 Today, on #WorldMalariaDay, we draw attention to the pressing issue of drug resistance in malaria treatment. Did you know that almost 1 in 8 returning travellers visiting our clinic have malaria? Mathijs Mutsaers from our Malariology Unit unveils an innovative approach to rapidly identify resistance to malaria drugs. Let's collaborate to tackle this critical challenge! 💊 #EndMalaria @ITMmalaria

Back at @ITMantwerp, Mathijs (research assistant) gave an interview to popular Belgian science magazine @eos_wetenschap for #WorldMalariaDay about malaria and drug resistance genes. Read more here (in Dutch)! eoswetenschap.eu/gezondheid/met…

Prof. Natama (ITM PhD alumnus and long-time collaborator at CRUN in Burkina Faso) was interviewed by Rwanda national tv about malaria vaccines! @IrssF

In recognition of #WorldMalariaDay here’s a glimpse into the Malariology Unit @ITMAntwerp’s latest news: 🩸🔬🧬 (1/🧵)
