A lovely collaboration with Josh Tan's group at NIH. Thanks to everyone on the team for their hard work!

Delighted to share our review on how those malaria parasites get into our blood cells and how we might stop them.

FROM CELL DEATH TO REGENERATION: What if dying cells -come back to life? Now online @embojournal I https://t.co/eOKTg6qVnk , we aim to answer this question. Here is the journey. If you🩷science, please dont 🛑till the end of 🧵, I promise you will not regret. 1/n

Our latest story describes the amazing evolutionary battle between malaria parasite and human. The parasite evolved RIFINs to bind inhibitory KIR receptors and suppress immune cell function while humans have activating KIR receptors to bind these RIFINs to kill parasites!

Thrilled to share this new pre-print, led by @Goddard_P_ . If you have ever wanted to know "Where is the gut is the parasite?" this pre-print is for you. 🐮 Thanks to our wonderful collaborators at @MoredunComms @katzer_frank @GeordieParasit and EMs by @UofG_Microscopy.

Postdoc Position Available
I am seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join my lab @OMRF, studying Astyanax mexicanus cavefish to explore metabolic adaptation. Ideal candidates should have a strong background in metabolism and basic molecular biology skills. Please RT

Pleased to share our review describing the utility of CRISPR/Cas-based approaches for detecting and targeting HBV
@MDPIOpenAccess Thanks to all the authors. @TestoniResearch @FabienZoulim

How does the deadly human-infective pathogen Entamoeba histolytica recognise our cells and cause liver abscesses? Check out our latest study, led by @SFGerard2018. Sam shows the structure of the critical amoeba lectin and how it recognises carbohydrates found on human cells.

Delighted to share our latest story with Joshua Tan's group, a deep dive into the natural infection antibody response to RH5, out now in Cell. https://t.co/yNYl6PiHqo 1/n 🧵

Fantastic work from @MehrotraPa in @kodiravi lab. I was fortunate enough to watch this project come together from start to finish and Parul's scientific rigour and creativity was a joy to experience. https://t.co/Pdyrnt7jNb

[Matt Higgins @ParasiteMatt]

Excited to share our new vaccine immunogen, designed through structure-guided methods, to prevent Plasmodium vivax. While the PvDBP antigen reduces parasite multiplication when used as a vaccine, it does not protect. PvDBP is also difficult to make. Could we make it better?

[Matt Higgins @ParasiteMatt]

How does infection with helminths reduce asthma and allergies? Check out our recent paper showing how the helminth secretion product, HpAIR blocks IL-33 signalling. Cunning little parasite! Led by @jamwalabhishek and fun collaboration with @HenryMcSorley,

Delighted to share our data on an improved blood-stage #malaria #vaccine candidate targeting the conserved and essential RH5 invasion complex now published @NatureComms. Congrats to Barney Williams, Lloyd King and the teams @UniofOxford and #NIAID. https://t.co/AWdcDFocgo

#MeetTheResearcher
Introducing @nawsad_alam from Professor Matt Higgins' lab. As a postdoctoral researcher, Nawsad uses structure-guided approaches to design effective blood-stage #malaria vaccine candidates.

Read about a fascinating evolutionary battle between the malaria parasite and the human host in our new pre-print below!
Parasites have evolved to bind to inhibitory immune receptor KIR2DL1 while the host has a counter-offensive trick up its sleeve...

@ZebrafishRock I'm planning my fish facility and would love to know from the community which company I should get the racks and the whole setup from. Which company did you you go for and what are the pros and especially the cons?
Thank you!
