This was fun... A perspective on the impacts of microplastics on mosquito biology and their vectorial capacity resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mv…

Absolutely delighted to be awarded an Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard award! Huge thanks to the reviewers and panel members for useful feedback and comments. 👀 this space for research tech opening to follow! 🦟🦠

📢Postdoc position (2 years) now available in my team. If you would like to investigate #alphavirus infection in human and mosquito cells, cell-intrinsic immunity, restriction factors, tropism, species-specificities, antiviral strategies... get in touch! LSTM #CHIKV

Funding in academia.

I'm liking this button on the new finance system.

Can we use animal venom for arbovirus transmission control? LSTM Vector Biology and Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions are exploring that possibility in our (pre-print) review. preprints.org/manuscript/202…

Some new work from the MosSI Lab LSTM! Comparing microbiomes of mosquitoes from different insectaries at the same institution. Yep, they’re different!

And great to be involved in this review on toxins for antiviral use in mosquitoes MosSI Lab LSTM

Great to see Shannon Quek amazing work finally come out, and that Ian Patterson pipelines for ISVs could be adapted to search for viruses in other invertebrates. nature.com/articles/s4156…
