Pleased to share that our paper on Plasmodium NEK4 is now published in @NatureComms.
NEK4 act as a key regulator coupling meiotic entry with cytoskeletal morphogenesis in malaria parasites.
Huge thanks to @RitaTewari, @David_Guttery & all our co-authors.

I have officially started my new position as a Senior Research Scientist at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) 🇯🇵. My group will focus on the cell/molecular biology of parasitic Excavata & amoebae (incl. Trypanosoma, Naegleria, Acanthamoeba, & more) (1/3)

Chromosomes stuck behind the spindle are ticking time bombs for aneuploidy. We uncovered a mechanical rescue mechanism where microtubule pivoting repositions these high-risk chromosomes! Out last week in @NatureComms, here's a thread 🧵

Our new preprint describes Plasmodium NEK4 as a key regulator coupling meiotic initiation and morphogenesis—a critical step for malaria transmission. This involves MTOC-driven nuclear movement strikingly analogous to "horsetail" movement in fission yeast.

Apicortin in malaria parasite are part of conoid like apical pole in invasive stages present only in female mosquitoes.
Many thanks @Zeeshan_MF Carolyn Moores Tony Holder.

This World Mosquito Day, let’s remember: to halt malaria transmission, we must uncover the fundamental secrets of parasite cell division during its critical stages inside the mosquito. This is what drives the research here in Nottingham. @RitaTewari @RyujiYanase @akki_mish

How do parasites strategically organise their genomes to influence gene expression? If you’re curious, check our latest review in @TrendsParasitol! A great team effort with @singh_parul Maureen Cabahug, Leon Walther & and the amazing Jessica Bryant!!
