Excellent, Henrico! One of our PhD students doing amazing work in our Parasite Control Cluster. Enjoy the conference #m2pl #upismc #lifechangers

[Dr. Henrico Langeveld @henricolangeve1]

Great experience and honored to have been able to present some of my research work at the @sasbmb conference 2024. 🧬🥼🧫

[Dr. Henrico Langeveld @henricolangeve1]

What an amazing experience visiting the @AMI_microscopy 🔬Using the latest LSM980 Zeiss microscope to capture >160 ExM parasite images 🤩 Just look how pretty those microtubules are 🤭. Some really cool and interesting stuff on its way!! Watch the space.

[Dr. Henrico Langeveld @henricolangeve1]

Come join on April 26 at 13:00 SAST to hear how microscopy is a valuable tool in the fight against malaria toolbox.

PS. The parasite pictures will be amazing!! They will make you see the parasite in a new light 🤩🤩

Thanks to @zeiss_micro, @caron_ajacobs for setting this up.

This will never get old! A fully segmented P. falciparum schizont. Feels wrong to say malaria parasites look cool but damm this looks cool 🤣🤩. #ExM #malaria #microscopy

@henricolangeve1 @zeiss_micro @UPTuks @UPnasagric One of our passionate postgraduate students in the #m2pl research group. It does look cool @henricolangeve1. You are doing amazing work. Keep it up.

What do baby diapers, microscopy and malaria have in common? Our researchers have achieved the 1st ultra-structure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) of malaria parasites in SA.👇

Throwback Thursday What a positive start to the year! A group of our researchers recently met with the CEO of @endmalaria. The meeting was highly productive, setting a promising tone for collaboration in the year ahead. #malaria #EndMalaria #collaboration #upismc #lifechangers

[Dr. Henrico Langeveld @henricolangeve1]

My first ever expanded P. falciparum parasites. Just amazing how cool this parasite looks when expanded!! A massive thanks and shout out to @sabrina_absalon and @LiffnerBen. Thanks for all your help and guidance as well as @AMI_microscopy for the use of their facility.

[UP Institute for Sustainable Malaria Control @UPEndMalaria]

Goodbye 2023. As the year draws to a close, we extend warm wishes for the holidays. Thank you to all our researchers, partners and collaborators. Here's to a year ahead filled with more collaboration and shared successes.
