We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Sir Nicholas White @MORUBKK Nick was a visionary in #malaria treatment whose work transformed global health. He will be remembered with great respect and affection Read our tribute 👉 tropicalmedicine.ox.ac.uk/news/professor…

Cryptosporidium genetics really works! Latest cross explains why tb drug failed in crypto clinical trial. Widespread genomic heterogeneity at the type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase locus predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance @millseba biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Felipe_hst Wow! Way to go Robbi.

Congratulations to my student Robbi Ross on receiving the prestigious F31 award from NIH. Robbi, I am very proud, and I am looking forward to all the great things you will do. Congratulations! fungilab.nd.edu/news/robbi-was…

My lab uses a highly sophisticated AI system to manage access to PCR machines that appears to hinge on an army of continuously recycled pieces of tape with your name on it.

We signed up too - how about you? Who’s next? Please repost!

The Roland A. Cooper Award was established in 2024 to support parasitologists from endemic areas to attend international parasitology conferences. Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will have an immediate impact. socapar.org/home/donate

Without NIH funds to run research labs at academic institutions, as a country we cannot train PhD students. No physician scientists. No undergraduates get experience in labs. Nothing. Industry does none of these things. Other countries will have to take the lead.

We are excited to partner with @AiKenya1 on a hackathon in Kenya focussed on leveraging LLMs to make science outputs more accessible. Apply to the EFH innovation sprint with speakers from @netflix @MSFTResearch @IBMResearch @ElevanceHealth @michigan_AI ecosystemsfinancehealth.org/hackathon-2025

In the last FY, IN universities received $414 million in grants. That translated into $1.1 BILLION in economic activity. With the proposed cuts, the state of IN will generate ~$451 million less.

Today I am thinking of the people I’ve met around the world—children, parents, health workers, teachers—who will be harmed by the Trump administration’s decision to try to dismantle USAID and walk back U.S. leadership in global health and poverty reduction. I’m thinking, too, about the dangerous ripple effects this will cause. In an increasingly interconnected world, we’re all better off when lifesaving medicines are developed and delivered, when disease outbreaks are halted, and when nations lift themselves out of poverty. Strong leaders throughout history have understood that foreign aid builds a heathier, safer, more prosperous world—and that’s a goal everyone should be able to get behind.

This amazing cover was designed by Dr Rajat Kumar in my lab and represents our review on the complexities of #ApiAP2 transcription factor regulation of malaria parasite development.@BMB_PSU @PSUScience

Local friends and colleagues, early voting is currently available at the County-City Building downtown. Very organized and fast. More info here: sjcindiana.gov/2269/Absentee-…

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…

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

The VEuPathDB group and researchers who depend on this data have put incredible effort into seeking answers from NIH and looking for a way to at least keep the data up until its replacement is in place. Incredible!
