Humble for the highlight of our newest preprint which has been a wonderful collaborative effort among amazing scientists @james-blauwkamp.bsky.social @olharrigan.bsky.social Krithika Rajaram @ohiostatepress.bsky.social Stella Sun Sophia staggers Emma Doud & Sean Prigge @johnshopkinsmmi.bsky.social
Research identifies PfAnchor as essential for malaria parasite survival by enabling apicoplast division. #IDsky #MEDsky
Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, Dr. Sabrina Absalon discussed what this means for antimalarial drug development. Full interview coming soon.

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...
