Issy Henshall

Postdoc in the Spielmann lab BNITM. Looking at the malaria parasite, it's tricks, it's biology and loving it! All opinions are my own.

My friends (@becker_regi, @NickRussell31) and I wrote a little something on efforts to improve the working lives of postdocs working in Germany. If you have time, please take a look! https://t.co/4SMrHKM3tU

What an amazing conference #MPM2024 with not only great science and people but beautiful locations! I also got the chance to share some of my latest work on malaria parasite endocytosis.

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

@LiffnerBen @Wilson_LabUofA Sad I missed the celebrations!

[PLOS Biology @PLOSBiology]

#Malaria blood stage parasites ingest host cell contents via an #endocytic process. This @BNITM_de study shows that the highly #parasite-specific upstream uptake system feeds into a more canonical Rbsn5/VPS45/Rab5b-dependent #endosomal pathway #PLOSBiology https://t.co/l1ZriXibqR

[Hannah Behrens @HMBehrens]

Time to introduce my latest paper.
TL;DR: I found potential functions for a quarter of the #malaria proteins that did not have a known function before, by analysing their #Alphafold structures. (1/7) https://t.co/dEIN5VQuR1

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

Pleased to have this study, lead by @HMBehrens, where we looked further into artemisinin resistance and fitness cost 😊

@alstandish Congrats Alistair!

[Josie Ferreira @J0Ferreira]

We're looking for a postdoc and an RA to join us @ucl! Interested in how the #malaria parasite adapts its cytoskeleton for disease transmission? Join our @wellcometrust funded project and use #insitu #CryoET to study parasites! DM or email any questions. Links in the comments.

@harrywilliamsmx Me please!

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

@_OrnellaR @Wilson_LabUofA @jillychims @WEHI_research Feels like only the other day you started your PhD - exciting to see what the next chapter holds!

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

@HMBehrens Thanks Hannah!

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

Had a lot of fun writing this and thinking more about the different ways anti malarial and nutrient uptake are interconnected

Applications for the 2023 @AS_Para Concepts in Parasitology course are due in one week. The society will fund the travel costs and course fees for students applying from countries with an emerging or developing economy https://t.co/L7QyVFATP3

[Issy Henshall @IssyHenshall]

@malaria_meg Get ready for some very slow walks across the tissue culture room trying desperately not to resuspend everything!

[Hannah Behrens @HMBehrens]

I detected structural similarities to known protein domains in ~350 Plasmodium proteins. I hope this will be useful to many and accelerate malaria research. @BNITM_de #malaria #alphafold #structurebiology #structureprediction
