Super thrilled that David Anaguano's work on RON11 was featured by preLights! Thanks to Sara Chelaghma (from Ross Waller's lab) for picking David's preprint. Sara did an amazing job summarizing our key findings.

Happy #microscopymonday !

Pathogens, Vol. 13, Pages 298: Role of TAM Receptors in Antimalarial Humoral Immune Response dlvr.it/T4ydyK Pathogens MDPI

University of York We have one more talk in this session this morning: Prof David R. Allred from FLORIDA who tells us about 'Antigenic variation in #Babesia : Do we even know what we don't know?'.
#BSP2024

And now from #BSP2024 session 'Antigenic variation 1', we have Prof Dr Nina Papavasiliou of DKFZ telling us about 'Antigenic variation at the macro & micro scale: how the African #trypanosome coat structure helps it evade a highly diverse immune response.'

The 2024 World Malaria Day Symposium is fast approaching. Join us on Thursday, April 25, in Baltimore for this in-person event. Click here to register: bit.ly/47WwaCt #WorldMalariaDay #JohnsHopkinsMalaria

Really looking forward to presenting at this conference - it's one of my favorites. Hope to see you there😀

A nice review on the peculiar aspects of the apicomplexan microtubule cytoskeleton, such as the beautiful conoid but also the absence of the famous K40 on alpha-tubulin in some lineages! We like it a lot!😃

Excited to share our new story explaining how macrophages use nitric oxide derivatives to shut down Toxoplasma evasion of cell-autonomous immunity. Congrats to Xiaoyu Zhao and the team! link.springer.com/10.1038/s41467…

Thanks to Wellcome for more than 35 years of funding. After today we are no longer a Wellcome Centre but the UofG Centre for Parasitology who will continue to produce world class research & train the science stars of the future.

Very happy to see our pre-print out! High-resolution scRNA-seq sheds light on the genomic determinants of antigen switching hierarchy in African Trypanosomes! It's been a journey filled with perseverance, but it's paid off! Huge congratulations to the entire team! 🎉 Take a look!

📢Ever wondered at which stage of sexual development the general distribution of heterochromatin starts to change? 🧐
💡Find the answer in our new manuscript in biorxiv!

We're looking for a postdoc and an RA to join us UCL! Interested in how the #malaria parasite adapts its cytoskeleton for disease transmission? Join our Wellcome funded project and use #insitu #CryoET to study parasites! DM or email any questions. Links in the comments.
