5 years ago, I learnt about @MBLBoP while writing my master @sangerinstitute and I promised myself I’ll attend the course one day. Today is the day, Dr Verzier is flying to Boston 😬

RT @Girl_into_bugs: My postdoc work is out! We single-cell sequenced human malaria parasites in Anopheles mosquitoes, uncovering key proces….

@womeninmalaria @Girl_into_bugs Fun personal note: shoutout to @hostmicrobe for sparking my interest in single-cell analysis. Much progress since @MBLBoP 2022, but it all began one summer evening in the lab exploring parasite single-cell data. Inspirational teacher :).

This project was a true team effort, and I had the privilege of leading it alongside two incredible @womeninmalaria: @Girl_into_bugs & Elaine Cheung. Huge thanks to everyone who played a part!.

Loved my first @ASTMH—great to reconnect with friends from @WEHI_research & @institutpasteur and share new data from the Catteruccia lab. Engaging questions and stimulating discussions throughout! Preprint now available:

This body of work was done in collaboration between physicists from Brazil –including @jaderPolli– and Rogerio Amino’s lab @PIV_IP. For more details and cool modelling, check out the @NatureComms paper:

@UniHeidelberg @FrischknechtLab Together with physicists, they’ve identified that sporozoites alternate between super and sub-diffusive motility, the first enabling them to locate blood vessels scattered in the skin, while the latter is used to probe vessels for invasion hotspots.

Twitterless Pauline Formaglio presented her amazing in vivo imaging data last week @UniHeidelberg thanks to @FrischknechtLab’s invitation. She’s tracked hundreds of sporozoites in the skin characterising search patterns of blood vessel invaders (blue) vs. non-invaders (red)

RT @jaderPolli: my first co-author paper is now published on @NatureComms . We found that the strategy of malaria plasmodium to find blood….

After @FrischknechtLab's visit, it was @flamcatt's turn to come to Paris for a few days. Common features: the beers, awesome science and great fun 😉.Any plans to come to Europe @BBurleighChagas? We're missing a @MBLBoP director!

RT @PIV_IP: 📢 Join us!!! Few days left to register for the symposium "Future in Parasitology 2022"at Institut Pasteur. Registration is free….

When you've finished the @MBLBoP bioinformatics module weeks ago but you're still obsessed with coding and making PCA plots. No doubt the module directors got me hooked! @hostmicrobe @omartheharb @KathrynCrouch81

@MBLBoP @AAcostaserrano @aitorcasass @TiagoDSerafim @EvaIniguez_ @omartheharb @KathrynCrouch81 @hostmicrobe There’s much to say about everyone I interacted with (including the course directors and my fellow BoPers!).I can’t wait to see what the second half will bring our way 🤩 (6/6).

@MBLBoP @AAcostaserrano @aitorcasass @TiagoDSerafim @EvaIniguez_ To @omartheharb, @KathrynCrouch81 and @hostmicrobe, for making bioinformatics such a fun and engaging topic. I knew the “dark” side attracted me and you just made it all the more appealing!.

@MBLBoP So thank you everyone! Shaden, @AAcostaserrano, @aitorcasass, @TiagoDSerafim and @EvaIniguez_, for setting up a vector module that confirmed my passion for this kind of host-parasite interaction.
