Ever wonder how Leishmania survives in a sand fly’s gut?
We just dropped a preprint where we CRISPR’d our way through the parasite’s transporter genes—and found the VIPs that keep it alive in its insect host. 🧬🦟

Identification of transporters essential for survival of Leishmania promastigotes in the digestive tract of sand flies
Leishmania amastigotes ingested by female phlebotomine sand flies are exposed to a harsh and dynamic environment, markedly different from that of their mammalian host. Within the sand fly s alimentary...

Suriname is now certified #malaria-free. It isthe first country in the Amazon region to achieve this by WHO. A result of nearly 70 years of commitment to #HealthEquity and public health.

🎉 Join Us for Parasite Day with PiP 2025! 🦠
We are thrilled to announce Parasite Day with PEERs in Parasitology (PiP), on June 27, 2025, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm EDT! This virtual symposium will spotlight groundbreaking work in parasitology by scientists from historically excluded backgrounds.

The Deaf Scientists Pipeline in Rochester, NY offers support for students and researchers from high school to postdoctoral levels. Now, due to NIH funding cuts, this one-of-a-kind initiative has been dismantled. My recent story for @science.org

An Essential Adaptor for Apicoplast Fission and Inheritance in Malaria Parasites
Blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites rely on a non-photosynthetic plastid, the apicoplast, for survival, making it an attractive target for antimalarial intervention. Like the mitochondrion, th...

New publication! We characterized a mechanism of resistance to tetrahydro-beta-carboline antimalarial. We identified this mutation confers stereospecific resistance and is associated with collateral drug sensitivity.

Stereospecific Resistance to N2-Acyl Tetrahydro-β-carboline Antimalarials Is Mediated by a PfMDR1 Mutation That Confers Collateral Drug Sensitivity
Half the world’s population is at risk of developing a malaria infection, which is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Currently, resistance has been identified to all clinically available an...

Our work on understanding how life science students use metacognition when problem-solving on their own and in groups has been published! We found that students corrected their peers’ thinking more than their own! We offer potential implications for instructors. www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...
