I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.
Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]
Happy to share our work exploring the genetic basis of dengue susceptibility in Aedes aegypti and revealing the antiviral role of a cytochrome P450. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
It had been a long and wild ride that started back when I was a postdoc within @lambrechtslab.bsky.social ! A thread ⬇️
Excited to announce our next speaker Dr William de Souza who will be presenting work on virus transmission dynamics of #emerging #arboviruses NEXT THURSDAY.
Will be great to get some perspective from an up-and-coming investigator. PLEASE help with a repost for this community driven seminar series.

According to Anastasia who's a post doc, I'm supposed to have a go-to drink while writing my dissertation. I told her it was Sprite Zero 😂 alcohol makes me too sleepy and caffeine doesn't work anymore
