A large US-Australian study on COVID-19 has uncovered a genetic explanation as to why some people test positive but remain asymptomatic.

Prof Stephanie Gras, who led the Australian contingent, it opens the way for better vaccines and treatments 💉 https://t.co/gvZhVOP5ta

New publication from the Nematode and Vector Genomics lab @SABE_latrobe !
Researchers in DRC, South Sudan, US, Australia, & Belgium sequenced >800 mitochondrial genomes to assess genetic diversity on the path to elimination of River blindness.

📢 Interested to hear how landscape genomics 🧬🗺️ can shed light on the impact of environment on vector-borne disease transmission dynamics? 🪰🦟 Join me at poster #279 today @Genetics2023. @lab_grant @latrobe #ICG2023 #Genomics #Environment #epidemiology ⚕️📊🧬🌍

[Grant-Hedtke Lab @lab_grant]

One of the best talks so far!

[Himal Shrestha @himal2007]

Stimulating talk from Prof Uma Ramakrishnan (@uramakri) on how genetics 🧬 is being used to inform 🐯 tiger conservation in India. Interesting simulations and evidences presented @ICG2023 #GeneticsForConservation #TigerConservation 🐾

[Himal Shrestha @himal2007]

Shannon (@shaaznerd), presenting how her lab @latrobe is using population genomics to eliminate some of the most neglected parasitic diseases in the world. @Genetics2023 #ICG2023 #populationgenomics #genomicepidemiology 🌐🧬

A fantastic talk by Dr Shannon Hedtke from @lab_grant on how her lab @latrobe is using a multitude of genomic tools to help eliminate vector-borne neglected tropical diseases in Africa @ComBio2022

Lovely talk at #combio2022 by @himal2007 on using landscape genetics to solve problems in eliminating NTDs ! Go LTU!

[Himal Shrestha @himal2007]

Super happy to share my first first-authored publication. ☺ It is about geostatistical modeling that could be useful in planning the elimination of river blindness in Ethiopia, in this case, a neglected tropical disease in Africa.

Our 4th post in our researcher PRIDE series has gone up today! 🏳️‍⚧️

In this post, titled "Going through puberty whilst doing my PhD", @aqueerscientist (Haylo Roberts) describes his various transitions as a transgender man & doctoral student.

Parasites do regulate immune systems of their human host. Does it have any implications with low COVID mortality in LMICs? An interesting hypothesis.. https://t.co/dwETT0avFj #parasites #COVID19 #NTDs

Nematodes are the most abundant animals on earth... they account for 4/5 land animals! The highest abundances are found in tundra which is the opposite of above-ground animals. Soil biota are so important and we need to know more...
