🧬 Delighted to share our new review on synthetic HEG drives in Ae. aegypti. We examine challenges, propose the CHIROS framework to guide future dev, and discuss paths forward for this vector control strategy.

What is #genedrive and how could it help fight mosquito-borne diseases such as #malaria?
Hear from experts from the @AlpheyLab @transm0 @imperialcollege and @TargetMalaria in this new @guardiannews piece penned by @taylor_rosie ➡️

Today is #WorldMosquitoDay. The mosquito is considered the deadliest animal in the world, acting as a powerful disease vector. Thank you to @genedrivenet for the opportunity to talk about my work and see the important work of other researchers.

“With #AedesAegypti 🦟becoming more resistant to insecticides, it is critical to develop new strategies to limit the spread of the diseases they transmit.” 🔬🧬
Hear more from Eunice Oluwatobiloba Adedeji @AlpheyLab @BiologyatYork.

Aedes🦟 are a major global health concern due to their role in spreading disease.
This #WorldMosquitoDay, hear from researchers sharing facts about these 🦟, the diseases they carry & novel control tools🔬🧬

Super excited to kick off my ECA funded by @wellcometrust to dive into enhancing homing gene drive development in Aedes aegypti🦟. One of the first to-do's? Crafting a lab handbook! 📚 Any great examples out there? Please share with me!

I've been in this network and initiative for a while now. Great to see it now on Twitter:
What is #genedrive? Why is it being investigated as a potential tool to control #vectorbornediseases and #invasivealienspecies?

📢Quantitative ecologists interested in #vector-borne diseases & fighting #malaria - postdoc opportunity available on understanding vector population stability. Why do some persist & others die out?
Deadline Feb 14th RT
#ecology #Rstats #modeling @ifakarahealth @VectorsGlasgow
Exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher! We are on the lookout for a passionate scientist to work with us at @UofGlasgow and @ifakarahealth

Your role will focus on analyzing the population dynamics of local malaria vectors in different African settings to identify strategies for significant suppression or elimination. Aim is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the conditions under which local populations of major malaria vectors can be significantly suppressed or eliminated; and to explore pathways to deliberately accelerate such extirpations. Apply now and contribute to meaningful, life-saving research! #MalariaResearch #PostdocJobs #GlobalHealth #DiseaseElimination #ResearchOpportunity

You will be working with me and my colleagues @JMatthiopoulos, @drheatherferg @Baldini_Fra @luccanelli @LucaNelli_ @MafaldaSViana and others at @UofG_SBOHVM and many colleagues across east and southern Africa. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFJ736/resear…
