ANTI-VeC Network - Application of Novel Transgenic technology & Inherited symbionts to Vector Control. Funded by UK govt Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).
Honored to participate and present my findings in #AntiVec meeting in Kilifi, Kenya and so excited to meet and share research activities with colleagues and network. What an experience! @AntiVec@cam_crid@PIIVeC@Pamca_Wivc
Mr Thabo Mashatola presented his PhD results in Kenya: Development of genetic sexing systems for the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis: progress made by the South African sterile
insect technique project

This #AfricaYouthMonth🎉, we are introducing Target Malaria's Young Scientists blog series! Each month, we will present one of our early career and up and coming team member who is working to #endmalaria
Stay tuned to meet everyone!
7 days to go to submit your abstracts to present at our Kenya meeting.
We're looking for abstracts from those working with genetic and symbiont-based control approaches, including community engagement, vector-pathogen interactions, population biology, behaviour and modelling
the Sanger Prize is a wonderful chance for an undergraduate student from a low or middle income country to come spend 3 months @sangerinstitute
doing an internship on genomics with scientists here. applications open now. Please RT!
A new @FrontiersIn journal, Frontiers in Malaria is now welcoming submissions. The journal currently has a call for abstracts for the 'Vectors collection' which may be of interest to many.
Deadline: 12th December
