Hot off the press! We have identified and characterized MFR3, a novel multidrug resistance mediator in P. falciparum. Read all about it in @ACS_Infectious:

Looking to recruit a molecular biologist as a postdoc to our lab to work on Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance and drug modes of action. To join a vibrant team at the Columbia university medical center in New York, working closely with @MedsforMalaria and @MalariaTargetID
Congratulations to MalDA member @fidocklab on this wonderful and well-deserved accomplishment!
Congratulations Dr. David Fidock and team for winning the MMV Project of the Year 2020 Award 👏
Over the past decade, this team has contributed significantly to MMV's portfolio and our efforts against antimalarial resistance.

Looking forward to @ElizabethWinze1 giving the Craig Lecture this morning at the Alan Magill Sumposium today at #TropMed20. Superb scientist leading the @MalariaTargetID consortium funded by @gatesfoundation
Excited for the start of #MPM2020! Congratulations to all of the presenters, which include multiple Malaria Drug Accelerator members.
Great work by several MalDA members and collaborators showing that a rapamycin analog targets #Plasmodium FKBP35. Out now in @ACSMedChemLett!

Need some reading material for the weekend?
Check out this recent paper identifying serine hydrolases as druggable targets in #Plasmodium. Great work from MalDA affiliate labs and collaborators!
Excited to share our latest collaboration with @eunayoo and @mbogyo! Check it out:

A new drug target for stopping the spread of malaria has been found after a @CellReports study led by @DrBoddey blocked Plasmodium falciparum from completing the ‘transmission stage’ of its lifecycle. In collaboration with @Griffith_Uni

For the first time, global efforts are preventing almost 100 million cases of #malaria every year. 🙌
This is great news, but @WHO's report shows that the decline in cases & deaths has slowed significantly. We must accelerate progress to #EndMalaria. gates.ly/35pLhVO
Out now in @CellChemBiol: "Combining Stage Specificity and Metabolomic Profiling to Advance Antimalarial Drug Discovery."
Great work by MalDA team members including @LlinasLab & @WinzelerLabUCSD, spearheaded by @fidocklab's @MurithiJamesM!

Check out this @biorxivpreprint article on genome engineering in #malaria parasites from a MALDA member lab! The AT-rich P. falciparum genome is extremely challenging to manipulate, so this is some truly exciting work from Jacquin Niles' group at @MIT!
