Welcome to Imperial! Get ready for an incredible journey ahead! From collaborating with top researchers to forming lifelong friendships, the coming years will be unforgettable. Congratulations, we’re excited to meet you! 💙 #OurImperial

Dengue is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Aedes mosquitoes. Watch the video below by @ViralFactsAfrica to find out what you need to know about dengue fever. #EndMalaria #WorldMosquitoDay #MosquitoCountdown

#Aedes vs #Anopheles mosquitoes: can you tell the difference? See the visual below to find out the physical differences between the two mosquitoes. #EndMalaria #EndDengue #WorldMosquitoDay #Malaria #MosquitoCountdown

Curious about how Transmission Zero are working to help the fight against malaria? We are developing new tools to stop malaria transmission by modifying mosquitoes so that they can no longer transmit the disease. Find out more in the thread below (1/7) 🧵 #WorldMosquitoDay2024

To mark #WorldMosquitoDay, here’s a thread on how Imperial College London is at the forefront of the fight against #malaria! 🧵

🦟 Our researchers are pioneering gene drive technology to curb malaria By modifying mosquitoes, we can reduce their ability to reproduce and transmit the malaria parasite, potentially leading to significant declines in malaria cases imperial.ac.uk/news/249474/mo…

🔬 At our mosquito labs, we’re not just rearing mosquitoes but innovating ways to track and study different genetically modified strains We spoke to lab technician Lee Phillimore who tells through the complexities of raising mosquitos for research imperial.ac.uk/news/245720/qa…

🌍 Beyond the lab, our efforts extend to engaging with local communities in malaria-endemic regions Through initiatives like Target Malaria, we ensure that the voices of those most affected are heard, fostering trust in the fight against this disease​ imperial.ac.uk/stories/world-…

💡 We’re also exploring ways to outsmart evolution by developing more robust gene drives that can resist potential evolutionary changes in mosquitoes, ensuring long-term success in malaria control R&D Team Lead at Biocentis tells us more 🔽 blogs.imperial.ac.uk/natural-scienc…

🌡️ But as the global climate changes, so does the landscape of malaria We're at the cutting edge of understanding how environmental shifts affect malaria transmission and how we can adapt our strategies to combat it imperial.ac.uk/stories/malari…

This #WorldMosquitoDay we are excited to share Prof. Abdoulaye Diabaté’s TED Talk! At the #TED2024 conference in April, Prof. Diabaté of #TargetMalariaBurkinaFaso IRSS.DRO.BOBO shared his personal journey with #Malaria and his unwavering commitment to helping #EndMalaria. Watch the

A long-term field experiment at Imperial’s Silwood Park campus reveals how grasslands have diverged since the 1980s and plant biomass production has undergone sizable changes, with major implications for food security, biodiversity and carbon storage. imperial.ac.uk/news/255813/br…

Imperial Lates are back ✨ These evenings of scientific discovery will kick off on 7 November for a night exploring the future of our cities through talks, workshops & exhibits! The team are looking for ideas from #OurImperial community to take part ⬇️ imperial.ac.uk/news/255814/im…

Life Sciences PhDs and post-docs had a great time at this year's Summer Social this year! Looking forward to next year's event already!
