Check out our new study out this week in Science Advances! Our new system, IFEGENIA, demonstrates inducible female-elimination making it useful for vector control. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Happy to have finally submitted the CRISPR-mediated spermless male A. gambiae story from my Dissertation! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Keep your eyes peeled for the next gen. of this technology combining and perfecting sterility and female elimination. Coming soon w/ @Omar_Akbari_
Anyone else considering going to this conference on Emerging Genetic Biocontrol Technologies in Kenya? (Abstracts are due the 30th) conference2023.genbioconsortium.africa/scientific-abs…
@Omar_Akbari_ @vectorgen @DrewMarcHammond @leslievosshall Womp womp. Of all the places they could have put the marker (Burt 2003 anyone?)
@DrewMarcHammond Let’s start a new hashtag. I call it the #labnotebookchallenge. Obviously you published 1st, but I’ve been wondering… who *actually made* the first CRISPR Anopheles gambiae? In Boston we got our first Cas9 transgenic mid-Aug 2014 (pics). Your first CRISPR line?
@Omar_Akbari_ @DrewMarcHammond My first drive broke down too! I tried to build one with TALENs as part of my Master's thesis in Strasbourg, and the repeats collapsed by generation #3. Never published. That was 2011/2012
@Omar_Akbari_ @DrewMarcHammond and I are having a little challenge. Want to join Aedes in? When was UCSD's first CRISPR mosquito?? x.com/ASmidler/statu…

@DrewMarcHammond @vectorgen @leslievosshall Oh yeah. Freaking seminal
@DrewMarcHammond I know! it's crazy how science works like that. I was so hyper focused and balls-to-the-walls those days, it really did feel like a race.
@DrewMarcHammond I’m willing to cal it a draw if you are
@DrewMarcHammond Yep! Pretty freaking even!
@MosquitoLab Or is he just now even more on point, being the warm-weather embodiment of their idol?

It's #TimeToDeliverZeroMalaria. This #WorldMalariaDay, meet the researchers from @UCSanDiego @pamcafrica @IrssDro @TargetMalaria @UCIrvine @LSTMnews @ASmidler working to #innovate to transform the fight against #malaria 👉bit.ly/3AmVMu3 #OutreachNetwork #EndMalaria
@Omar_Akbari_ He’s got a little sippy cup and everything😢
Came across this pic and it shot me right through the heart. I can only imagine raising a child under a bed net - especially one at this age - the same age as my daughter. It's my motivation for today. Anophelines, your days are numbered. Don't forget @worldmalariaday is 4/25
Excited to be giving a talk at this fantastic GRC meeting in Spain next year!
RT - Please Apply to participate in the 2024 Genetic Biocontrol GRC. This will take place @ Castelldefels, Spain. The current speaker / discussion leader lineup is now posted. Take a peak. Please contact chairs @Omar_Akbari_ @LeeYoosook 🤩 if you have any questions.
