"Overall, our study suggests that the ongoing selective pressures exerted on parasite populations in Ethiopia by HRP2-based RDT diagnosis and ACT treatment might result in co-occurrence of diagnostic and drug resistance, representing a double threat to #malaria elimination."

#Plasmodium falciparum resistant to #artemisinin and diagnostics have emerged in Ethiopia

Postdoc position available in our lab in collaboration with @R0bMoon in London on a @wellcometrust project investigating #Plasmodium knowlesi invasion. All new for us and super exciting. Advanced skills in microscopy and a keen interest in biophysics are a must.

Malaria parasites replicate asexually in the bloodstream, however a subset form ♂️ and ♀️ sexual cell types that when sucked up by a 🦟 undergo sexual reproduction. But how?

1/4 Proud of our new preprint, where we use #bioinformatics to enrich #Plasmodium falciparum DNA in patient samples DURING #nanopore sequencing. Doing so, we managed to type #drugresistance loci at low parasitaemias of 0.1% & 0.2%. #adaptivesampling https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.29.518068v1

#Introduction
I have a longstanding interest in identifying which genes the #malaria parasite needs to survive, and why. During my PhD I was involved in early genome-scale screens in #Plasmodium. Now, I'm delving into more detail on gene function at scale by building approaches for automated culture at #TheCrick.

Since the pandemic I have also got into #GenomicEpidemiology in a big way. I created https://taxonium.org, a tool for exploring million-sequence trees, amongst other things.
