We focus on molecular host-vector-pathogen interactions and novel approached to control ticks and tick-borne diseases. SMZT and EKDLG fellow. Views are my own.
We have identified several antigens that can be used for the development of anti-tick vaccines targeting tick extracellular vesicles.

Our paper looking at the epigenetics of Ixodes scapularis populations is now in press. This is the first paper from soon to be Dr. Guzman Valencia :)

Working with the extension team at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to spread awareness.
Like the Pasteur institute, we will be moving to a less polarizing and controversial platform.

I will temporarily leave this open for about a month and then make a complete move.
Thanks to all of those that have follow us!
The Institut Pasteur is leaving X.
Due to serious issues observed since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the Institut Pasteur is suspending its activities on this platform starting today and invites its followers to join on other platforms.โฏโก๏ธ https://t.co/a954CSEufM
The paper describing our efforts to evaluate new antigens that can be used to control ticks in wildlife reservoirs is now out ๐

Not surprised. There is a need to bring opportunities to all. Not just those that have the money... how many talented scientist have we lost because of income and background? :(
What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A ๐งต on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N
@AbahBenjamin14 That depends on grants. However, I have applicants from this previous call who I am interested in but I could not bring. I will most likely reach to those individuals before I put another call.
I am currently recruiting a https://t.co/dUMhAuQD6M. or PhD student interested in microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology to explore the intricacies of host/pathogen/tick dynamics at the skin level. If you have students interested in these topics, reach out.
