We show here that Plasmodium infection of hepatocytes activate the host cell transcription factor NRF2, which induces expression of survival pathways and support parasite development. Great work by Annina and the rest of the gang.

The #MCIDBern (@unibern) funding call for early-career #women researchers is now open 😀! See here for all the details: https://t.co/9bWuku3ksP. We are looking forward to applications!
Our paper is out now! Great microscopy and even better quantifications by Mariana, Caro and the rest of the gang 👍👍😃

In Covid-19 times, it's important to not forget about other infectious diseases. The World Malaria day was certainly a good occasion to re-focus. Hope you all took the chance.
Heute ist #Weltmalariatag. Auch an der #unibern wird zu #Malaria geforscht: Ein Team um Volker Heussler untersucht in einem #Sinergia-Projekt den Beitrag der Wirtszelle bei Infektionen mit einzelligen Parasiten, um so Malaria besser bekämpfen zu können. @snf_ch@HeusslerLab

If you would like to work with nice colleagues and in a cool working environment with about 50% success rates in individual SNSF applications, feel free to apply 👍😃

Here we show an alternative way how Plasmodium sporozoites can be eliminated by host cells. Great work of Annina, Rahel and Jessica!
