New study shows Plasmodium falciparum evades immune attack by varying invasion ligands. Antibodies target PfRH1 & PfRH2b, but variation limits efficacy. Multi-target vaccines may be key to blocking blood-stage malaria. #Malaria #Immunology #VaccineResearch

On #worldmalariaday its great to be working with wonderful people in our ACREME program to find new solutions for #malaria. @acreme.bsky.social @burnetinstitute.bsky.social
We must increase funding, invest in proven interventions, build stronger health systems and drive forward innovative tools and strategies to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination goals. Read more from @freyafowkes.bsky.social 🦟shorturl.at/3dIDx #WorldMalariaDay

🔧 No single tool will #EndMalaria. But when used together, the tools we have—including vaccines, medicines & bed nets—are powerful, especially as part of locally led, context-driven prevention strategies.
As #WorldMalariaDay approaches, let’s invest in what works and deliver it to all 🚀

The value of vaccines is indisputable
Pleased to be involved in a great new #malaria paper. Identified an i-body (antibody-like molecule) that blocks host-cell invasion. Remarkably, i-body targeted a conserved epitope on different Plasmodium species. Are pan-species therapeutics or vaccines possible?
