Great speaker. Great topic. Great opportunity.

Glad this is finally out. Using pharmacokinetic modeling we show that #nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug 4 #Tyrosinemia & #Alkaptonuria, kills #Anopheles mosquitoes, outperforming #Ivermectin. Grateful to all primary author’s & fantastic collaborators! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I have a strong personal and vested interest in this one. Please give it a look! linkedin.com/jobs/view/4158…

Great. But to be clear @NIH @NIAIDNews @NIHDirector turned their collective backs on this globally important resource and now we are left to pick up the pieces by holding bake sales / car washes to keep it live. The precarity of this critical resource is still huge.

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you

3 PhD fully-funded studentships in vector genomics at LSTM/KEMRI/UVRI/ GSU-WSI with @eochomo @EricRLucas @alimanfoo @kwambo_2 @TonahN Chris Clarkson and Jonathan Kayondo. Details tinyurl.com/4nfzyj3u

Anopheles #funestus🦟 is a significant #malaria carrier in #Africa. @CharlMQuinn, @TonahN, and I at @LSTMvector, are developing genetic tools to target this species to understand insecticide resistance. tinyurl.com/33pb6ndc #WorldMosquitoDay #EndMalaria @lstmnews

PhD students from IRSS in Burkina Faso have worked with @LSTMnews vector biologists to generate a transgenic mosquito. The partnership, funded by the @gatesfoundation, is designed to build capacity in molecular biology and genetic control of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso.

I was almost a week premature when I announced this previously and the link was broken. It's open now doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… "Video-tracked Anopheles arabiensis entry and exit behaviour at washed and damaged pyrethroid- treated bednets". I hope you find it useful

Mind blowing! The smallest insects are smaller than amoebae and have neurona without nuclei! #ECE2023

My first first author paper is out today in @CRISPRjournal! We looked at how well gene drives cope with genetic differences in Anopheles mosquitoes - turns out, much better than expected! If anyone would like more info please get in touch liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/cr…

Rejoining EU Horizon is only half the job done. Now please stop asking EU-area scientists for visas, leave to remain applications, NHS surcharges, ATAS clearances, etc. Its a bigger barrier to research progress and is a huge waste of everyone’s time.

Come and work with us @LSTMvector! Senior Lecturer/Reader position (roughly equivalent to Assoc Prof/Prof) in Vector Biology. app.vacancy-filler.co.uk/salescrm/Caree…


Great stuff

Just in time for #WorldMosquitoDay ! Check out our new preprint led by Diego Giraldo @dags263 and Drew Hammond @DrewMarcHammond building a genetic toolkit to decode the sense of smell in the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
