I have a stand-alone figure showing a certain additive does not improve treatment for one disease, eventhough it does for similar diseases. Any suggestions for where/how to publish it? #micropublication #onefigurepaper #preprint #response #lettertotheeditor Specific journals?

Very much enjoy talking about malaria all day at BioMalPar and listening to so many amazing things others have done

Time to introduce my latest paper.
TL;DR: I found potential functions for a quarter of the #malaria proteins that did not have a known function before, by analysing their #Alphafold structures. (1/7) nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

And what are HRP (heptatricorepeat) proteins? Known HRP proteins bind and process RNA in plastids, like mitochondria and apicoplasts. Many of them also have a RAP-domain which binds RNA. I hope future research will further investigate these knew potential HRP proteins. (7/7)

Combining both search approaches, I found similarities to known domains in 353 proteins (>25%) of unknown function. Did I find anything in your favourite protein? Check supplementary data 2 3. Or come find me at the #BioMalPar conference next week #EMBLMalaria (8/7)

My paper on using Alphafold2 to find domains in Plasmodium proteins came out today. So I opened twitter to tell you all about it and see @jankosinski posting about AlphaFold3 just being released. Who is not going to sleep tonight?

first things first, here is the paper nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
I'll present the results at BioMalPar in two weeks, so come find me there if you are a malaria person. Or just drop me a message if you want to talk about it

Can resistance of #malaria parasites to the main drug #artemisinin increase further? @HMBehrens and Sabine Schmidt from the Malaria Cell Biology group of Tobias Spielmann and @KCCR_GH & @BNITM_de have analysed numerous mutations, combinations of mutations and parasites (1/2)

after repeated drug-exposure. Interesting results: the higher the resistance the lower the fitness of the parasites. New paper in mBio:👉lnkd.in/eQxWqnjJ (2/2)

For world malaria day Anna interviewed Oumou and that makes me happy because I like working with both of them ☺️

It's #WorldMalariaDay today: April 25! #Malaria researcher Anna Bachmann from @BNITM_de talked to her Ghanaian colleague Oumou Maiga-Ascofaré from @KCCR_GH about her motivation, role models and future challenges in malaria control. @AnnaBachmann11 @MaigaAscofare

Today #infectneXt talks about #malaria. One of the pioneers for #malariaVaccine was the #biologist Ruth S. Nussenzweig (1928–2018), who discovered the key component of the recently endorsed vaccines: the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium falciparum. #WomeninScience

I love giving Advanced Cell Bio lectures in Bremen. For private reasons I will not continue to do so. Are you interested in this lecturer position? Contact me if you have questions about it. You'd work with a bunch of exceptionally motivated students! shorturl.at/uGZ78

On my way back from the first Advanced Cell Bio lecture of the semester in Bremen. I'm looking forward to working with this interactive bunch of students

The amazing Issy Henshall wrote up an overview on nutrient uptake including all the most recent developments - it's a good read

Had a lot of fun writing this and thinking more about the different ways anti malarial and nutrient uptake are interconnected
