The Fidock Lab

ASTMH in New Orleans was a Success! Looking forward to this upcoming year in Tropical Medicine. astmh.org/blog/november-…

Our lab heading to ASTMH meeting - starts Wed, New Orleans. We've had a fantastic number of abstract and symposia submissions - promises to be a great meeting! Schedule: lnkd.in/e57E-FSq. See astmh.org Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues there!

The Fidock Lab is coming full force to New Orleans November 14-17 for ASTMH! We are excited to be attending this premier international forum for tropical medicine and #GlobalHealth . Hope to see you there! Register at: bit.ly/RegisterTropMe… #IAmTropMed #TropMed24

Congrats to Lab member @JohnOkombo5 on publishing "Towards next-generation treatment options to combat Plasmodium falciparum malaria" in Nature Reviews Microbiology. Take a look! doi.org/10.1038/s41579…

More uproar about the loss of VEuPathDB: Critical loss: the effects of VEuPathDB defunding on global health - The Lancet Microbe thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

On Sunday, September 15th, we will lose access to VEuPathDB, an important database to the Parasitology community. The recent commentary in Science illustrates how this will affect our field. Take a look!

Congrats to Jen on her paper "tRNA modification reprogramming of Plasmodium falciparum as a feature of artemisinin" being accepted for publication in Nature Microbiology! And congrats to coauthors Talia and Laura! 🥳🧪👩‍🔬

Happy New Year from the Fidock Lab! We have had an incredibly amazing (and busy) year, and have had great success with funding, and brought in lots of new lab members as our alum moved to various parts of the city, country, or globe! Cheers to 2024! 🥳🍾🥂🎆

Check out this PBS NOVA documentary, "The Battle to Beat Malaria", and look closely for some ASTMH signage! #iamtropmed pbs.org/video/the-batt…

Congratulations to Sachel for being this year's Winner of the Take-Off Award for the ACMCIP Subgroup of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). Also attached are some photos from this year's ASTMH conference in Chicago! 🛫🏙️🏅

Check out this article on artemisinin resistance that malaria parasites have developed in eastern Africa! The third section of the article focuses on our lab and the work we have done to fight the resistance. cuimc.columbia.edu/news/mainstay-…

Congratulations to John for being featured by the Gates Foundation in an interview at the Grand Challenges meeting in Dakar! 🧪 gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles…
