Check out our latest preprint on targeting malaria parasite profilactin with drugs (22.10.2022)

Henni's recent work on characterizing compounds interfering with the malaria parasite profilin-actin complex and actin dynamics is out as a preprint on bioRxiv. The project is part of a large collaboration led by Madeline Dans and Paul Gilson from the Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia.

Paper on MyoB accepted for publication! (14.10.2022)

Our manuscript on the smallest malaria parasite myosin, MyoB, was accepted for publication in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Read here a summary of Isa's nice work on this so-far uncharacterized myosin, which is important for the parasite invasion of red blood cells.

Atta defended his PhD thesis! (10.10.2022)

On Thursday October 6th, Atta defended his PhD thesis entitled "Structural characterization of Toxoplasma gondii armadillo repeat only protein and purification of actins from apicomplexan parasites". As the opponent, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Young-Hwa Song from the University of Lübeck, Germany. Huge congratulations to Atta and many thanks to the opponent and everyone who participated... Les mer
