“The most important thing I learned in IID was that you can do great science without compromising how kind you are to others.” That’s Madalyn Won (@madalynwon)—an #IIDgraduate, origin of this brilliant quote, and the second one holding the sparkly Trypanosoma Cruzi cut-out.

Congratulations to the brilliant graduates of @Harvard Class of 2023! 🎉🎉 Special shoutout to the graduating students of IID, seen here at Harvard's Commencement Day! @harimwon @madalynwon @MwaseChimwemwe #SydneyStanley #Harvard23

[Harvard Immunology and Infectious Diseases Dept @HarvardIID]

We are so proud and overjoyed for our #IIDGraduates. You've accomplished so much already, and we wish you the best in whatever is next. Congratulations #HarvardChan23! @madalynwon @harimwon @DanielHFRubin #SydneyStanley

[Harry Won @harimwon]

I had the thrill of writing a piece on the history of GLP-1 and the future of obesity therapeutics with @dylanvneel and @KirtiNath9 for Biomarker! Featuring insights from one of the field's founders @DanielJDrucker

Can't wait!

Wish @harimwon luck today for his defense seminar: Targeting the ClpC1 ATPase for antibiotic development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

Defended my PhD @HarvardIID this week and officially became Dr. Madalyn Won! Thanks to all my friends and colleagues for their support!!

[Harvard Immunology and Infectious Diseases Dept @HarvardIID]

Join us today for @madalynwon defense seminar: Characterization of the Trypanosoma cruzi flagellum in replicative stages https://t.co/kwKLfimKdR

[Richard Wheeler @Zephyris]

It's finally here! Our main paper describing the https://t.co/OGQ2KACppv genome-wide protein localisation database we made for Trypanosoma brucei parasites. https://t.co/KmxkdS20gM

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

@ZEB_UniWue 😁 thanks so much for reading, we're excited to share it! Looking forward to more proximity labeling in T. cruzi's future!

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

Huge shout out to my lab and the resources at @MET_HSPH for helping us complete this work!

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

The second half of my Ph.D. work from @HarvardIID is out on bioRxiv today! The proteins present in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote and amastigote flagella were largely unknown, so we set out to identify some of them.

Proximity-dependent biotinylation and identification of flagellar proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi https://t.co/YolitCg7sK #bioRxiv

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

Using TurboID and mass spec, we identified >200 candidate flagellar proteins. We localized a handful of these candidates in amastigotes (below) and epimastigotes with a-FLAG and confirmed their presence in the flagellum.

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

Check out @harimwon's latest work and those beautiful figures!

[Harry Won @harimwon]

Excited to say that the major focus of my PhD work is out as a preprint! The major question motivating this work: can we employ the targeted protein degradation (TPD) modality to make new TB antibiotics?

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!

The first half of my PhD work @HarvardIID is out on bioRxiv today, thanks to amazing collaborators and my lab!

Really cool to see @Lucpag's latest work on fatty acid elongases in T. cruzi!

[Lucpag @Lucpag]

Really happy to share the first part of my work at Harvard (Burleigh lab) studying fatty acid synthesis in T. cruzi. Thanks to our collaborators at UTEP (@IgorCAlmeida1) https://t.co/LnG3mmM4Bp

We are proud to announce the HBC career fair is returning on Friday October 21st 2022 from 11 AM to 5 PM! Please join us in person to meet biotechnology companies from around Boston and beyond.

[Lucpag @Lucpag]

Just as a reminder to those parasitologist working in trypanosomatids. Trypanosoma brucei is one of many different tryps, and your discoveries may not be true for other tryps. STOP REFERRING YOUR RESULTS AS A COMMON THING TO ALL TRYPANOSOMATIDS! #kmcb #parasites

[Subaita @subaita_rahman]

They say in biotech that your value is in your IP. But what is a patent? what can you patent?

At @pillar_vc, we released step by step guide for founders which include tips to read previous patent docs, identifying white spaces, and more.

[Madalyn @madalynwon]

@Lucpag opening the metabolism session of #kmcb2022 with a fantastic talk on fatty acid elongase enzymes in T. cruzi!

[Lucpag @Lucpag]

Great talk from @madalynwon from @BBurleighChagas lab about Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote flagellum motility to start the KMCB meeting!!!
