SAVE THE DATE Dr. @mjpinazo from @DNDi will be presenting at the United States Chagas Disease Providers' Network Virtual Presentations Grand Rounds, provided by @bcmhouston. For zoom info ➡️ https://t.co/xyHGSET3eS @BCM_TropMed @EvaClarkMD @JillWeather @ASTMH @Rojelio

🎉 Congrats to Anju Abraham from @WEHI_research on receiving a SEED grant. The project aims to improve the sensitivity of an established assay that detects P. vivax antigens in the blood. This would enable detection of individuals with asymptomatic and hidden P. vivax infections.

We are excited to share our new findings on the NEK1 kinase in male gamete formation and kinetochore attachment in Plasmodium. We dedicate this paper to Professor Andrew Fry (1966-2024). Great collaborations. With Mathieu Brochet, @EelcoTromer @Zeeshan_MF @PLOSBiology

We’ve taken a break, but are looking to make a comeback! We will likely feature a #BugOfTheMonth again and would love your input. Where should we start???

Brillant talk by Grace from the ⁦@MuralidharanLab⁩ @CTEGD⁩ on Plasmodium invasion at #mpm2024!
