Today, the @VLIRUOS international training programme took off once again 🚀 let's put those computers away, get our hands dirty & make State-of-the-Art P. falciparum DNA libraries. In this pilot study, we create baseline genomic data for csp, the target of the #malaria#vaccine.
🧬There’s still time to submit your abstract for a flash talk or poster at the upcoming #nanopore Research Day on September 27 in the great city of #Antwerpen!
📅 Deadline: August 15

It's almost summer ☀️, which means the Epis get to leave the lab for a day to enjoy our natural surroundings! 🏞️ This year's team building consisted of a very nice hike in beautiful Montserrat, where we met wild friends🐐 and even looked for hidden treasures 🔎 So much fun! 🤩
🌏 Curious about cutting-edge global health research? 4 of our researchers received @FWOVlaanderen fellowships! They'll tackle issues like access to medicines, antibiotic resistance, malaria, and maternal health. Follow us for updates! 🌐🧪 https://t.co/END7SmJdmS
Our Nanopore work is out! Take a look if you're interested in quick and efficient Plasmodium sequencing from patient blood, without the need of human DNA removal upfront ✨
Filled my first HIVE today in Brazil! And learned it from the master --> Go check out Erin's poster to learn more about Plasmodium single cell sequencing in remote places 🌴🧬

Interested in applying single-cell sequencing to malaria in the field?
Come stop by my poster (6879) at #TropMed23 on Saturday to learn more about how @ITMmalaria is using HIVE single-cell RNA sequencing with malaria parasites!
