Out today: tinyurl.com/2th6f2a3 | Nature Medicine Work from Kenya - shows protective antibodies against falciparum malaria sporozoites work against sporozoites injected into the skin, not against sporozoites injected into veins. Why does this matter? 1/6

Applications are open for the 2026 Biology of Parasitism course! 📍 Woods Hole, MA | 🗓 June 12 - July 23, 2026 An immersive 6-week program in modern parasitology for PhD students & postdocs, co-organized by Stéphanie Blandin. 🔗 : shorturl.at/i8GSr

Very proud of our new @TrendsParasitol review on the complexities of ApiAP2 regulation in Plasmodium falciparum. Building on the legendary reviews by @Painter_Lab (2010) and @M4774R14 (2019)!! cell.com/trends/parasit…

Please fill up the survey to support VEuPathDB. Our community is generous, caring and strong and it is your opportunity to show it!

🆕 | @UofGSii's Professor Lilach Sheiner and Professor @PasqualeMaffia recently attended the Africa-Europe Clusters of Research Excellence Conference in South Africa to prove updates on the CoRE initiatives for which they serve as Directors. 🖱️ Learn more gla.ac.uk/schools/infect…

📢Our team is seeking 2 postdocs to join a @ERC_Research funded project on cell cycle regulation of #malaria parasites! #ParasitologyJobs #Academicjobs #Postdocposition Deadline: 1/11; Start date: 1/1/2025 (Flexible) Details here👇 lphi.umontpellier.fr/research-teams…

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years. Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s medicine laureates – is universal among multicellular organisms. #NobelPrize

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: #future" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

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_phil @ChanZuckerberg Penn & UGA

Please check out this opportunity for young researchers to establish their lab @CIILofficiel on the @PasteurLille campus: incredible colleagues and a supportive environment.

A rising star student from #Kenya @Nancyythera undertaking an MSc in Global Health, today meeting with @Paulgarside6 #mentoring 🌍

Preview of some great Global Parasitology Seminars to look forward to this coming semester! @TrendsParasitol @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @parasitesrule @AmSocParasit @ParaFrap @pennbgs @womeninmalaria @pennvet @bloodSparasites @PiParasitology

This is what I got from Office of Genomics and Advanced technologies about the future of the resources currently in @veupathdb. Has a link to check for updates. Haven’t seen this information shared but I may have missed it. And I will miss @veupathdb

It is really a shame and a big blow to the parasitology community. Sadly, it will impact mainly junior researchers who don't always have ways to access the data and/or the skills to perform the necessary pre-processing. Feels like going back to the early 2000s ...

It’s just a tiny bottle.. It probably doesn’t smell that bad Tiny Bottle:

Looking for a postdoc position? Isabel Roditi is starting an awesome project in Würzburg, Germany! I quote Isabel: “Just tell people how much easier it is to work with tryps than with Apicomplexa” 😉 @Uni_WUE @parasitesrule #tryptaxis

Finally out @EmboMolMed: our study exploring a new way of experimental #vaccination for #malaria using attenuated #parasites and featuring antibodies, CD4 + CD8 T cells, interferon + interleukins. Soon we'll be immunologists; high time to start surfing: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

It looks like the @UofGMaths_Stats building got a little carried away with all its equations! ✍️ Graphics have been added to the building, which were generated by members of staff in the School of Mathematics & Statistics. They were asked to submit handwritten diagrams and equations used in their ongoing and current mathematical and statistical research. Such a creative way to represent the research done in the School and a great 'addition' to campus! 🤩
