Postdoc @ITMmalaria. Working on the beautiful #Pvivax malaria parasite #invasion #omics #epigenetics
Now on

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

Reconfirming the suitability of Pk A1H1 as a model for Pv!🔥🔥

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

New preprint out! We made a #Plasmodium #knowlesi A1-H.1 #transcriptome time course for asexual blood stages🩸. https://t.co/bIhJhI42VJ

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.

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

[Rosanas-Urgell lab @ITMmalaria]

Big congrats to @KatlijnDM for receiving the 3-year junior postdoctoral fellowship of @FWOVlaanderen!🥳
We can’t wait to see what you will find out about #epigenetics in #plasmodium #vivax
@ITMantwerp and @unifesp

Cool story of how Dalia found out she is protected from (Vivax) #malaria and how this fits perfectly into her PhD story of studying the factors associated to the #invasion of the red blood cell ⁦@pintofscienceBE⁩ ⁦@ITMantwerp⁩ ⁦@ITMmalaria⁩ ⁦@UAntwerpen⁩

Els @CortesMalaria estem passant un dia fantàstic a l'IEC celebrant les #XIVjornadescromatina 📝🧬🔬 dades i projectes molt interessants, com cada any 👏👏 @SCB_iec

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

@HeerenSenne @FBroeck @DujardinBiomed @ITMantwerp @LemeyLab Congrats!

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

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 ✨

[mBio @mbiojournal]

#Nanopore adaptive sampling can efficiently enrich #Plasmodium reads during sequencing. Drug resistance loci were confidently typed for patients with low parasitaemias of 0.1-0.6%! @katlijnDM @CuypersWim @ITMmalaria @KrisLaukens @cuypersb @julia_gauglitz https://t.co/EfTE9m4LEA

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

@ElinorHortle @ErinSauve_ new challenge?

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

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 🌴🧬
@fiocruz @unifesp @ITMantwerp @ITMmalaria

[Erin Sauve @ErinSauve_]

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!

@ITMantwerp @honeycombbio @RevvityInc

[Katlijn De Meulenaere @KatlijnDM]

Now officially out! 🎉🧬

[Rosanas-Urgell lab @ITMmalaria]

Our new P. vivax reference genome PvPAM is out! Highly suited for South American as well as African isolates, and excellent subtelomeric resolution.
