New research led @ndeyfa2.bsky.social, a PhD student @lshtm.bsky.social shows #malaria drug resistance isn’t driven by a single mutations but a complex combination of genetic changes that help parasites with legacy mutations survive newer treatments.

I am super excited to get started on a new chapter, but hope to never forget all the people who helped write this story so far.
I have learned so much about science and myself, and look forward to putting it all into practice (and continuing to grow as a scientist and mentor as well!)

For now, I want to say that the Epi-Api lab is looking for a PhD student! If you are interested in host-pathogen interactions focusing on host cell biology and molecular parasitology, do apply.
GIMM's next PhD cohort begins Feb 2027. Applications due May 3. Please share!

Today marks 30 years since we identified the apicoplast, a relict plastid in human and animal parasites (PMID 8632819). Apicoplasts are the target of the widely used antimalarial prophylactic doxycycline, which has saved many thousands of malaria infections.

Really important and relevant study in TB from @danbarberphd.bsky.social and colleagues. We need to re-think many assumptions. Nitric oxide production in mice has been a confounding factor. #tuberculosis
