Bees, like all other organisms, have a lot of parasites. And it is likely that these are the main contributors to issues like colony collapse disorder (CCD).

UT Austin scientists have targeted one such deadly fungal parasite, Nosema ceranae, and have genetically modified a bacteria commonly found in bee guts to produce an RNA interference system preventing the fungus from making spores.

Mosquitoes and the disease they spread are a concern worldwide, especially in regards to invasive species that bring diseases less common in a region and those species that focus on biting humans.

A consortium of European researchers have come together to target the asian tiger mosquito by using RNA interference and food sources that the larva will take up, preventing their reproduction.

Eleven Therapeutics (Cambridge, UK) is looking for a molecular biologist. PhD, with experience in , , mammalian, , high-throughput.
I am not connected to this company, but i've been engaging with Yaniv Erlich, the founder/CEO, on the twitter for several years now and he has awesome ideas.
They already published cool paper on therapy for .
So, if you're interested, i reccomend.

I am a cell biologist and geneticist trying to understand how a cell/organism discriminates self from non-self at the University of Strasbourg . Particularly interested in the recognition of RNA viruses in insects and the activation of innate immunity pathways.

Where does RNA interference (RNAi) come from? @SalehLabParis @AleTorr_i @yoginho & @pradeu describe a new evolutionary model of how might have originated in early eukaryotes through neutral events from the molecular machinery present in prokaryotes. plos.io/3a5ouGi
