We are very pleased to share our publication in PLoS Pathogens (@PLOSPathogens) (https://t.co/pEAZiUBEuy. Our team explored a Streptomyces natural product, called dealanylascamycin (DACM). We showed it is a highly mechanism of action.

Congratulations to all the winners @The_VIIN #YoungVIIN2024 #VIINYIS 🏆 @Lynn_Nazareth @jackkemery @BrigDoesScience

[Apicolipid Lab @ApicoLipid]

Glad to share our latest study on #Toxoplasma #lipid synthesis and trafficking in @jlipidres
We reveal the role of a novel #AcylCoAsynthetase aka Fatty acid metabolic activator. Great work by the team, especially  @sheena_dass, @Serenashun @charital_sarah

Applications for Deakin Postdoctoral Fellowships will be opening shortly. If you have a competitive CV and would like to join our lab working on host-malaria parasite interactions, see QR code for more info and get in touch!

Excited to share our new study in @NatureComms. We found that M-833 blocks Pf ring development by targeting a lipid-transfer protein PfSTART1. This breakthrough could open new avenues for malaria treatment! Read 🧵below:

Artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) remain the frontline treatments for malaria infections by eliminating the causative Plasmodium parasites from patients. Read the new research here: https://t.co/p756rdXYuK

FINALLY ONLINE 🥳 In our @Marti_Paoletta pre-print (https://t.co/R2j1B46gQ0) we present a scalable CRISPR system in Plasmodium berghei called PbHiT, providing detailed protocols and construct designs for anyone to use! 🧵@Bushell_Lab @umeauniversity @mims_umea @womeninmalaria

[Apicolipid Lab @ApicoLipid]

Glad to share our latest study in @mbiojournal on #toxo fatty acid activation by an acyl-CoA synthetase that relocates to peroxisomal structure in extracellular parasites under low host nutrient content to allow parasite motility by fueling #betaoxidation

@ApicoLipid @MAMLorne Thanks Cyrille! Would love to see you here next time 😌

[Dawson Ling @DawsonLing]

Had an absolute blast at the MAM2024 conference, here's a photo of me with my poster in unflatteting lighting. Was so grateful for the opportunity to present and absorb everyone else's malaria wisdom. #MAM2024 @MAMLorne

[Dawson Ling @DawsonLing]

unflattering*

[Thorey Jonsdottir @ThoreyJonsdott1]

Wanted to thank everyone again for showing up to my poster at #MAM2024 and loved all the positive vibes I received on my little drawings! First time incorporating them into my conference talk/poster 😄 @MAMLorne

[Dawson Ling @DawsonLing]

I am pleased to share that our paper on the drug series developed from Merck KGaA's Open Global Health Library targeting the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum's PI4KIIIB enzyme is now out on @ACS_Infectious! Thank you to everyone involved.

[Dawson Ling @DawsonLing]

Thanks to #EMBLMalaria for the chance to present at the BioMalPar XIX conference. The breadth of work done in the malaria community is inspiring. I would also like to deeply thank @EMBLAustralia @iubmb @DMM_Journal for making this possible with their generous travel grants.

[Nicole Kilian @NicoleKilianPhD]

Hoooraaaayyyy! We won the BioMalPar Science Pub Quiz @embl @EMBLHeidelberg @EMBLEvents!!!
Many thanks to this fun bunch for the great time!! #EMBLMalaria
