Welcome to Stephanie Blandin and Alvaro ⁦Álvaro AcostaSerrano⁩ who lead the vector module ⁦BiologyofParasitism⁩. Transgenic tsetsemosquitoes? Everything is possible now that the English even win in penalties.

Vector module reenactment of secret ⁦BiologyofParasitism⁩ romance. Legend has that time might legitimize what happened next.

Check out the highlights of the recent #BioMalPar XX conference: looking back on, and forward from, 20 years of #malaria research #EMBLMalaria EMBL, organized by Jessica Bryant Sabrina Absalon Taco Kooij & @Fredros_inc. cell.com/trends/parasit…

Drs Freddy Frischknecht Julian Rayner & Andy Waters reflect on the 20 years of #BioMalPar & look to the future: Building a collaborative #malaria research network. #EMBLMalaria EMBL Heidelberg University The CIMR Cambridge University Centre For Parasitology University of Glasgow cell.com/trends/parasit…

Superb work by Leon Lettermann and Ulrich Schwarz on the mathematical basis of gliding motility, not just relevant for #malaria parasites or #toxoplasma but also for gliding #bacteria. Not that I understand the formula but they are arguably beautiful - as are the animations.

Congratulations ⁦Markus Ganter⁩ for winning the Palme d‘Or; the first ever prize for excellent teaching given by the students of the medical faculty ⁦Uni Heidelberg⁩ for „making a small field big“

Last day ⁦BiologyofParasitism⁩ 2024. Remember how it all started? Francesco Redi - father of #parasitology and first to demonstrate that life only comes from life. 200 years prior to Pasteur in Florence, Italy. And ‚inventor‘ of the control. Save travels and happy experimenting

The wonderful world of bizarre #microtubules, #actin dynamics and more. Our new review is out: #Cytoskeleton Organization in Formation and Motility of Apicomplexan #Parasites. Thanks to Ross Douglas and Robert Moon for co-writing. go.shr.lc/3WzqlqO

Finally out EMBO Mol. Medicine: our study exploring a new way of experimental #vaccination for #malaria using attenuated #parasites and featuring antibodies, CD4 + CD8 T cells, interferon + interleukins. Soon we'll be immunologists; high time to start surfing: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

So happy to have started this a long time ago along a great group of PhD students. Do participate at this amazing meeting in the year EMBL turned 50.

Thanks, I like the red cell basketball

just WOW

What happens when you apply design principles from bottom-up synthetic biology to immunology? In Heidelberg and together with Freddy Frischknecht Michael Platten 🇪🇺 & Oliver Fackler we compiled the prospects of bottom-up synthetic immunology Nature Nano rdcu.be/dR0r0

My 5 cents on #parasites translated from the original German by AI (making it a 'funny' read) as a short introductory text for non-experts: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

CONGRATS to Franziska Hentzschel for obtaining an European Research Council (ERC) starting grant to work on the 'weird' but wonderful biology of the Arp2/3 complex in #malaria #parasites: klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/newsroom/en/er…
