Lover of parasites, working on host-pathogen interactions in malaria.

@ChessingtonBuzz Thank you! Our three year olds would probably only be into the splash pool, not sure how long that notice has been up but fingers crossed it's temporary!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

@marietabernabeu @EMBunnik Huge congratulations Maria and @ViolaIntroini !

@BethanWallbank @mbiojournal @striepenlab @KingOfPathogens Just saw this - congrats Bethan looks great!

This brilliant database summarises all parasitology research in one place and we all depend on it for our work - daily! Hard to imagine how this decision was made but I hope there's a replacement planned or we're in trouble!

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

A great opportunity to work with some lovely people!

@Emma_McHuge Really useful thanks!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

@ab1nay This sounds great Abhinay, I love the inclusion of the barcodes!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

Excited to be reunited with my favourite parasites after a year apart for maternity leave. Just started at @CamPathology in Katerina Artavanis-Tsakonas' lab looking into the malarial ubiquitin system. It's good to be back!

[Sateriale Lab @SaterialeLab]

Looking for a PhD program in host-pathogen interactions? We have an open call right now! @TheCrick we have world-class facilities in the 💙 of London with exciting science on every floor! (especially ours 😉) https://t.co/1ncy53vX9N

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

@Krishanpal_K @Moritz_Treeck @eLife Thanks!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

@olivia_carmo @Moritz_Treeck Thanks Olivia! 😁

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

For now I'm busy taking care of my own clonal parasites (twins 🙃), but will hopefully return to malaria research soon!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

My last paper from the Treeck lab is out! Thanks to @Moritz_Treeck and all the lovely lab members for a fun project (and he's hiring!)! Time for a thread! https://t.co/MKDd6AiLqc

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

I'm excited to try PerturboID on other systems and for dissecting the mechanistic details of more extreme phenotypes - it would be particularly well suited for studying membrane trafficking or the formation of protein complexes, for example. You could also add a temporal aspect!

[Heledd Davies @Heledddavies]

A lovely collaboration from the Crick days, making use of a conditional mutation to study drug resistance.
