We show here that Plasmodium infection of hepatocytes activate the host cell transcription factor NRF2, which induces expression of survival pathways and support parasite development. Great work by Annina and the rest of the gang.

In Covid-19 times, it's important to not forget about other infectious diseases. The World Malaria day was certainly a good occasion to re-focus. Hope you all took the chance.
Heute ist #Weltmalariatag. Auch an der #unibern wird zu #Malaria geforscht: Ein Team um Volker Heussler untersucht in einem #Sinergia-Projekt den Beitrag der Wirtszelle bei Infektionen mit einzelligen Parasiten, um so Malaria besser bekämpfen zu können. @snf_ch @HeusslerLab
Congratulation Anush!! What a nice and well-deserved surprise!!! 👍😃👍👍
Anush Chinappino-Pepe @AnushChP authored the @CellCellPress paper “Genome-Scale Identification of Essential Metabolic Processes for Targeting the Plasmodium Liver Stage” cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… #FacesOfCell

ALT Anush Chiappino-Pepe Harvard Medical School and MIT LatinX, first generation PhD, immigrant Genome-Scale Identification of Essential Metabolic Processes for Targeting the Plasmodium Liver “I grew up in the Canary Islands (Spain), daughter of immigrant parents (Argentinians). I love math and biology/biochemistry, learning and teaching, helping students succeed. I'm an advocate for a friendly, diverse, and safe environment in academia.”
If you would like to work with nice colleagues and in a cool working environment with about 50% success rates in individual SNSF applications, feel free to apply 👍😃

Here we show an alternative way how Plasmodium sporozoites can be eliminated by host cells. Great work of Annina, Rahel and Jessica!

Congrats to Elyzana and Anja for a nice work and Alyssa for the effort of putting this together!

Are you interested in parasites, physiology and evolutionary ecology? I have up to three years of funding for a postdoc to work on the resource-ecology of parasite-host interactions.
