What is the impact of malaria infection on vaccinations for other diseases? how should we think about vaccines compromised by malaria?
How does the parasite causing toxoplasmosis makes the essential proteins in its mitochondrion via an extremely fragmented mito-ribosome?
👇👇
Another successful and engaging session of the CoRE-AID Webinar Series! Thanks to our speakers for their insightful talks, as well as to our participants. If you missed parts of the webinar, or just want to re-watch it, now you can stream them here: piped.video/watch?v=uyuGfxZv…

Key sentence from Victor's talk at @WCIPGLASGOW @UofGSii today - "it just works, it just works!" (referring to mitochondrial ribosomes and discussing their extreme divergent features)
Great to have Victor on board with us here at Glasgow!

What a great visit to @RitaTewari great science at the lab, great questions at the seminar, and great hospitality! I'll come back any time 🤩
It was a real pleasure to host Lilach @SheinerLab at Nottingham and learning all the interesting science on divergent mitoribosome in toxoplasma. In addition sharing Diwali celebration and visiting oldest pub at Nottingham. Many thanks Lilach.
