We are making antibody cocktails against #COVID19 !! 🙏 #MRFF funding to manufacture monoclonal antibody treatments into clinical trials. Great collaborative outcomes between @WEHI_research @TheDohertyInst @BurnetInstitute @KirbyInstitute @CSL AffinityBio and @CSIRO

Keen to use an open source workflow for nanobody discovery? Check out Alpseq 🦙 Alpseq’s diversity analysis, enrichment counts & clustering allow different approaches for nanobody selection Great collab @QGouil & Kathleen Zeglinski @WEHI_research https://t.co/diR6qzP3pY

Incredibly proud to share that our work on Cryptosporidium Oocyst Wall Proteins is published in @PLOSPathogens https://t.co/khGAl0PRV3 Led by previous PhD student @BacchettiRoss and carried on by current PhD student, Sarah Stevens.

Learn how our hunt for the native structure of top #antimalarial target PfATP4🧂led to the discovery of PfABP, an unknown essential binding partner, out now! @natcomms 👉 https://t.co/SX5vBW1ZzT 🦠🔬❄️ A team effort by @mehsehret @cmholab & Anurag Shukla @AkhilVaidya1 #cryoEM

Today, we report Germinal, a method for efficient de novo antibody design, with @santimillef and @SynBioGaoLab. Germinal achieves success rates of 4-22% across diverse epitopes. We make the work fully open, without doing lame things like posting a preprint without methods. 🧵

In two weeks, the 2025 Nobel Prizes will be announced. Based on looking at other pre-Nobel “predictor” prizes, I think that these 36 scientists are the most likely candidates:

Delighted to talk about blocking malaria transmission at Director’s Seminar @JCSMR 🦟🦟🦟 Fun to discuss cryo-EM structures, nanobodies, new bispecifics and mRNA vaccines that block transmission🔬 💉 💎 🙏@MeganOutram91 for taking the first ever photo where you can see me 😂

Step inside the world of discovery, where imagination and creativity collide, with our online gallery #ArtofScience. View 16 extraordinary images captured by WEHI scientists working to solve urgent health challenges. See the exhibition: https://t.co/o2kEZ1wZDi

Delighted to share our review on how those malaria parasites get into our blood cells and how we might stop them. https://t.co/hGGnAnjqlI

Like to take 12–24 months of fully supported research in Japan? Early-career Australian researchers can apply for the 2026–27 JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships to undertake 12–24 months of collaborative research in Japan. This prestigious program offers generous support, including

From molecular speciation of mosquitoes by PCR, to multiplexed malaria amplicon sequencing to inform public health policy, we love how our “lab in a suitcase” equipped with #BentoLab & ONT #MinION enables us to bring our science to the communities at greatest risk for malaria.

R&D – let’s fund it properly. https://t.co/PYqEDPbVqy
