Calling all parasitology trainees! @acmcip is running a free workshop titled “Science Communication in the Time of COVID19” on Thursday, July 23 at 4pm EDT (GMT-4). Register here: https://t.co/0DsU5rO8ho. #ACMCIPtrainees

[Winzeler Lab @WinzelerLabUCSD]

Exciting news from our friends at @MedsforMalaria! We strongly believe that open-source #drugdiscovery is key to #malaria eradication efforts.

[Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) @MedsforMalaria]

Good news for the #malaria community!🎉

MMV is launching Malaria Libre, an open-source & collaborative drug discovery platform to accelerate innovation. 🔬💊

[The Fidock Lab @fidocklab]

Check out our latest collaboration with @WinzelerLabUCSD @ElizabethWinze1 and @afcowman!

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Imidazolopiperazine compounds are under clinical development for #malaria. Here the authors show that the compounds inhibit the parasite's secretory pathway, affecting protein trafficking & export

The CDC-provided COVID-19 primers have potential issues with hairpins and dimerization, writes @tomeraltman.
In his new blog post, he designs better candidate primers to help develop better diagnostic kits.
