Incredible two days @cssbhamburg.bsky.social as Scientific Advisory Board and to hear about integrative structural biology for infectious diseases 🦠🧫🔬

🙏Hans-Georg Kräusslich, @oneyrolles.bsky.social , @sykhalid.bsky.social Joost Enninga, Friedrich Förster, Ilaria Ferlenghi for open discussions

Our first Tham Lab photo with Megan Outram and Grace Jones @biologyanu.bsky.social

🐸 We want to understand how chytrid fungus infects frogs using structural biology, nanobodies & genetic engineering

Excited to be branching out to fungal diseases

#chytrid #nanobodies #fungus #effector

Delighted to present our research on blocking malaria transmission at Director’s Seminar @jcsmr.bsky.social 🦟🦟🦟

Fun to discuss cryo-EM structures, nanobodies, new bispecifics and mRNA vaccines that block transmission🔬 💉 💎

🙏 Megan Outram for taking the first ever photo where you can see me 😂

Frankie Lyons PhD Completion Seminar 💕

She worked on key fertilisation antigens for malaria parasites - Pfs48/45 PfHAP2 - developing nanobodies, bispecifics & mRNA vaccines to block malaria transmission 🦟 @wehi-research.bsky.social

🌱 Wonderful to celebrate in her favourite moss green + BIG MEAL

Cryo-EM of fertilisation complex Pfs230-Pfs48/45 from malaria parasites! 💕💗

🦟 Transgenic parasites without Pfs230 D13D14 do not transmit

🦙 💉Nanobodies + mRNA induced antibodies reduce transmission

Wonderful Friday for a PhD thesis submission @jaisondsa.bsky.social @wehi-research.bsky.social

🩸Stabilized variants for zero-diagnostics
🦙Nanobodies against Plasmodium adhesins (watch this space)

Been incredible working with Jaison across the years and sharing co-supervision with Phillip Pymm

Daylesford sighting

Science road trip to discuss chytrid, frogs + effectors 🐸

Fun visit with MeganOutram to learn all things chytrid from Lee Berger & Lee Skerratt - very interesting links between plant fungal pathogens and chytrid - excited to get this program going @biologyanu.bsky.social

25th anniversary of the La Sportiva Razorback Run - ran this 8 years ago and lots has changed 🤣😂 gorgeous running day - and I did finish!

For those of us who are awaiting ARC Discovery Projects EOI results today - also a gratuitous Canberra running photo at the Arboretum 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🤞🏼🤞🏼

Looking forward to posting science fun soon - meanwhile here are “blue skies” in Canberra!
