kallisto sped up RNA-seq quantification by 50x. Now another 50x speedup... quantify hundreds of millions of reads in a few seconds. This seems too good to be true. But it's true! Incredible accomplishment by @pmelsted.

Wow! #metabolomics gets its own category in @nature Cool! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Congratulations to Dr Ludovica Monti @LudovicaMonti for receiving her @RACInational Rita Cornforth Lectureship medal in the RACI (VIC Branch) Awards Night. The award recognises Ludovica’s outstanding contribution to chemical research in nucleic acid and medicinal chemistry

The 2025 @RACInational Rita Cornforth lectureship award🙌 Super proud of @LudovicaMonti

Integrating chemical biology, genomics, ChIP-seq, and drug discovery to identify novel molecular targets to fight parasitic diseases. New preprint led by @LudovicaMonti as part of her Marie Curie Fellowship @Bio21Institute @ChemistryUoM @imperialcollege

Truly honoured to receive this award from the Selby Foundation to support our research on drug discovery for infectious diseases!🧪🧫🪱 @UniMelb @ChemistryUoM

I feel gratitude and am inspired constantly by the early career scientists I work with at the Sanger @sangerinstitute .... @AGunjur is an oncologist who is focused on leveraging the human microbiome to save and improve patient lives...great blog below.. sangerinstitute.blog/2024/09…

Job advert - Please share! Mark Viney (lnkd.in/dwkZf7mG) and I are seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to work on drug treatment responses of soil-transmitted helminth and hookworm genomics in Southeast Asia. Do reach out if keen! jobs.ac.uk/job/DMR456/postdo…

New preprint alert!! ClusterApp for #metabolomics is finally here and it is glorious!! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Exciting time for the Monti Lab!

Are you based in South America and work on helminths? Join me & a great group of instructors on the Helminth Bioinformatics course in Montevideo during 18–24 May! We'll cover expenses, you just need to come, interact, and learn. Please share & apply! coursesandconferences.wellco…

An hour of #bioinformatics can save a week in the lab. ALSO An hour in the lab can save a week of #bioinformatics.

Really fun to write this paper on spatial transcriptomics with @SarahBuddenborg . It’s an exciting technique that has a lot of potential in Parasitology for new insights.

We welcome the appointment of Academy Fellow Prof @UteRoessner AM as Australian Research Council's new Chief Executive Officer. Prof Roessner was elected a Fellow in 2022. Our profile video below details the unique path that led to her influential role as a biochemist and now in leading the ARC. The ARC plays a fundamental role in funding basic research, promoting research excellence and supporting our national ambitions. Learn more: arc.gov.au/news-publications… @arc_gov_au
