I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.
Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵

Happy to share our work exploring the genetic basis of dengue susceptibility in Aedes aegypti and revealing the antiviral role of a cytochrome P450. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
It had been a long and wild ride that started back when I was a postdoc within @lambrechtslab.bsky.social ! A thread ⬇️

Very grateful to have been awarded a #MSCA post-doc fellowship! With Felix Hol and Teun Bousema, we will bring BuzzWatch to the field to study mosquito behavior in malaria-endemic regions.
Starting in #RadboudUmc, our first goal is to make BuzzWatch portable enough to be transported by bicycle 🦟🚲🇳🇱.

Excited that my first manuscript from my time at the @riffelllab.bsky.social is out as a preprint! Building on past work, we used wind tunnel bioassays to show that the odors of human hosts, flowers, and oviposition sites shift the visual preferences of mosquitos.
