@TebbenKieran @ASTMH That sounds really interesting! Is it published yet?

[Kurt Ward @micro_kiwi]

Great opportunity! Jen is fantastic, and she and her team are doing really exciting work.

Do you like malaria, RNA, stress responses or all 3? The Small-Saunders lab at Columbia is hiring a postdoc! For more info check out https://t.co/BnLv8NH0E4. @parasitesrule @womeninmalaria @WiParasitology.

@fidocklab @ASBMB Congrats David!

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Wonderful to have our work published in Science Advances! An enormous amount of work over many years, and a great group effort led by Sachel Mok and @fidocklab. Very happy to have been part of this project.

Sad to say goodbye to all of my brilliant colleagues at the @fidocklab after finishing up my first postdoc, but really excited to start working with @ProfJakeBaum at UNSW!

Progress in malaria control in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa is challenged by several new threats, including artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum parasites with deletions in hrp2 or hrp3. Read the full Perspective by Brian Greenwood, M.D., from @LSHTM:

[Jonathan Parr @jonbparr]

Important article just out in @NEJM describing increasing numbers of #malaria parasites with resistance to first-line drugs in Eritrea.

These and our findings in Ethiopia are cause for concern in the Horn of Africa.

[Kurt Ward @micro_kiwi]

Our new paper with Didier Menard's group (and other brilliant collaborators) shows the concerning emergence of partial artemisinin resistance in Eritrea, along with deletions of hrp2 and hrp3.

[NEJM @NEJM]

This study shows the emergence and spread of artemisinin resistance, along with the loss of hrp2 required for malaria rapid diagnostic tests, in P. falciparum in Eritrea.

Really happy to have this work published. It's been great working with @mbogyo and @ChemBio_John on this project.

[Matthew Bogyo @mbogyo]

Check out our latest work targeting the malaria proteasome. Another outstanding collaboration with @fidocklab. Congrats to @ChemBio_John and the other authors! https://t.co/9kc0ZB6M8p
