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.
#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
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
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.
@_OrnellaR @Wilson_LabUofA @jillychims @WEHI_research Feels like only the other day you started your PhD - exciting to see what the next chapter holds!
Drs Isabelle Henshall & Tobias Spielmann discuss the critical interdependencies between #Plasmodium#nutrient flux and #drugs. #Malaria#Resistance @BNITM_de

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
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
