Really proud of this work and grateful to @KafsackLab and the amazing collaborators. Congrats to you all!
After a long gestation period, @Riward's paper describing a new DNA binding protein with an essential role during early gametocyte development was born in Nature Microbiology today! All the co-authors are doing well.

Last week, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela. NASA satellites are providing critical support, capturing imagery and data to help teams on the ground assess impacts and guide response efforts.
This map, created with data from the NISAR mission, shows how the quakes shifted the land surface, offering key insights for emergency managers and scientists.

Antimalarials stop symptoms, but do they also block onward transmission? Our latest study tested the transmission blocking efficacy of ACT and TACT, alone and with primaquine, in a clinical trial setting in Mali. Check it out! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

After a hard working summer, we are really happy to share this work with the parasitology community. Great experience mentoring Hermela Samuel from @WeillCornell ACCESS summer program 2024.
Happy to see this story out in Pathogens today.
Not bad for summer internship project.
Well done Hermela and @Riward!

#Plasmodium #parasites have a pair of organelles called rhoptries, made anew every replicative cycle. @davidanaguano @MuralidharanLab &co show that RON11 triggers biogenesis of the second #rhoptry and is important for #erythrocyte invasion #PLOSBiology plos.io/3XQeiqY

Malaria parasites have multiple 47S ribosomal RNA genes that differ in length, sequence & expression. Our @WeillCornell ACCESS Summer Student Hermela Samuel & @Riward found that their promoters have very really different responses to RNA Pol I inhibitors 🤯biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Ever wonder how LysoPC availability regulates heterochromatin maintenance and sexual differentiation in P. falciparum?
Check out our study in @NatureMicrobiol. Amazing team effort led by @ChantalTHarris with @rheelab @DeitschKirk @MariaMMota2.

Delighted to make this tool available for all the scientific community. Thanks to @ReviewCommons and @LSAjournal for the smooth review process!
Morillo et al. present a detailed step-wise protocol for reliable genome-wide profiling of histone modifications using CUT&RUN that requires only low numbers of Plasmodium falciparum blood-stages. @WeillCornell @KafsackLab @Riward @ReviewCommons
