Excited to share that I officially received my first R01 today! It's been a long road, one marked by persistence and several grants that narrowly missed the payline. Now to do all of the exciting work that we proposed!

I will be hiring, so be on the lookout for job postings!

@elimin8schisto @Shannan_tropmed @merckgroup Pls it seems the link to the application submission is missing. Rather it shows the previous 2021 call awardees. Please could you help with the submission link for the 2024 call. Thanks!

When mosquitoes defence is turned against them to reduce malaria burden! In our new paper in Cell Reports, we show that some P450 genes used by mosquitoes in Africa to survive insecticide-treated nets, are now making them more vulnerable to Chlorfenapyr, used on novel novel nets
