In Covid-19 times, it's important to not forget about other infectious diseases. The World Malaria day was certainly a good occasion to re-focus. Hope you all took the chance.
Applications are open for two, 2-years, part-time (0.5 FTE) Daphne Jackson Fellowships hosted by @UniOfYork. Great opportunity for someone wanting to go back to research! Deadline 24th May. More info at https://t.co/mvuGDJ3ogR.
Since 2000, the global efforts to fight malaria have helped avert 7.6 million deaths!
Despite these enormous gains, projections reveal that #malaria might kill more people than #COVID19 in sub-Saharan Africa.

Thanks to almost 300 people listening to a great session about "Quality control and intracellular trafficking" @ASCBiology#cellbio2020 with @Gaudinlab @kkostova1, Arnold Seo @JLS_Lab ,@Team_FranckP , Prasanna Satpute Krishnan and Khavong Pha.

Toxoplasma transfers O-Fuc to nuclear and cytosolic proteins via an OGT paralogue. Check our latest work @jbiolchem to see how this PTM affects protein levels.
Always a pleasure to work with @glycoparasite, @AgopNersesian and all the other co-authors!

Thank you @jablack18 for highlighting this latest collaboration with @AgopNersesian, @glycoparasite & co!
Really appreciate what @preLight is doing to enhance discussion of preprints in the biological sciences.👏
Using APEX-based proximity labeling for first time in #Apicomplexa, @KehrerJessica finds many putatively secreted proteins of #Plasmodium ookinetes. First candidate, named akratin, surprisingly functions in gamete egress as well as ookinete migration. https://t.co/OglKnACpeW
New detail on the #malaria#parasite life cycle? After the bite #Plasmodium#sporozoites move by blood flow to the liver to arrest + leave the circulation. But why only in the liver? Specific interactions there are helping. But physics plays a role too: https://t.co/CQKGc4UFps
I'm excited to announce I'm looking for a post doc to work on microbial glycosylation!
If you know an outstanding candidate interested in glycosylation, Burkholderia or mass spectrometry let them know
Closing date : 11 Oct 2020

Congrats to @bandigiu for her beautiful work on the O-fucosyltransferase Spindly in Toxoplasma! O-fucosylation increases stability of the modified proteins, suggesting the presence of a protein reservoir for stress response. https://t.co/RxGmnuDtIZ

Great work by Mariana De Niz and Carolina Agop-Nersesian using cutting edge imaging techniques.

10 Questions with Mariana De Niz - @mariana_deniz
from Mexico is a @HFSP postdoc fellow at @IMMolecular in Lisbon, Portugal & #LINO70 participant. Enjoy our interview with her & get inspired :-) #womeninscience@lindaunobel https://t.co/UmVnLt4ZAF
Our preprint on Plasmodium-Golgi interaction is out! Once more @mariana_deniz demonstrated the potential of quantitative imaging in studying host-parasite relations. Big thank you to a great team: @HeusslerLab, Gesine Kaiser, Benoît Zuber and Won Do Heo
