Malaria parasites must switch to sexual reproduction to infect mosquitoes, but how do they decide to become male or female? How does the same transcription factor make the switch and generate both sexes? Answers are emerging from our genetic screen Read More …
Our atlas of immune cells from Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes is now available as a preprint from bioRxiv. Mosquito cellular immunity at single-cell resolution This very productive collaboration with the lab of Carolina Barillas-Mury at NIAID was led by our Read More …
The next PlasmoGEM screen is out! Taking >1300 mutants through the lifecycle, we discover many parasite genes essential at the liver stage and produce a stage-specific model of metabolism. An incredibly stimulating collaboration with our colleagues in the Heussler, Hazimanikatis, Read More …
We are delighted to have been awarded 30 mio kronor over 6 years by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to screen for the genes in malaria parasite that are involved in mosquito transmission and study interaction with the mosquito Read More …
