Exciting data from a human malaria re-challenge model deciphering how humans become immunologically tolerant to falciparum #malaria. Big thanks to fantastic collaborators @spence_lab.
Muñoz Sandoval, Bach, Nahrendorf, Spence et al. @EdinburghUni show that a single #malaria episode reprograms T cell activation to minimize cytotoxicity and injury during subsequent infections. hubs.la/Q03g_jm10

Thanks to global immunisation efforts, an estimated 154 million lives have been saved over the past 50 years 🌎 🤝
That’s equivalent to 6 lives every minute.

NEWS: First vaccine against blood-stage malaria is well-tolerated and offers effective protection
The study showed that the new vaccine (RH5.1/Matrix-MTM) was well tolerated with no safety concerns, working by reducing the parasite level in the blood.

Delighted to share our first safety and efficacy data on the RH5.1/Matrix-M blood-stage #malaria #vaccine in 5-17 month old children in Burkina Faso published @TheLancetInfDis. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
Big congrats to H. Magloire Natama, Jo Salkeld, Sarah Silk, @halidou_tinto and Angela Minassian and all the teams who have supported this work @UniofOxford, @URCNNanoro, #NIAID, @LSHTM, @SerumInstIndia, @Novavax, and @ExpreS2ionB.

Big congrats to @TheBeiLab, @LatyGaye and their team on the first analysis of #RH5 blood-stage #malaria human #mAbs against P. falciparum clinical isolates in Senegal. Encouraging for strain-transcendence. Check out their great paper @Nature_NPJ below👇
So excited for this paper to be published, proud of the amazing hard work that went into it, and so grateful for the amazing collaborations that made it all possible! You can get a glimpse “behind the paper” here: communities.springernature.c…. Stay tuned for Laty’s thread!

"Malaria is as old as Egyptian civilization itself, but the disease that plagued pharaohs now belongs to its history and not its future." - @DrTedros @WHO
YES! Congratulations go out to 🇪🇬 EGYPT on being certified #ZeroMalaria 👏
Thank you for inviting me to #ISV2024. An honour to give this plenary talk, and what a fantastic first day of #vaccine research talks and posters!
Fantastic plenary from Dr. Simon Draper @S1monJDraper from @UniofOxford about the latest in clinical evaluation of most advanced blood stage RH5 malaria vaccine and current clinical development of “next gen” multistage malaria vaccine. #ISV2024
