🧬 Big news: our team at @gimminstitute.bsky.social and I have been awarded a €2.5M ERC Advanced Grant (#ERCAdG) for a project we couldn't resist naming KILLBILL. Yes, like the Tarantino film. Bear with me — the analogy runs deeper than the title. 🧵 ⚔️

🧬 New findings from our lab @gimminstitute.bsky.social, out in iScience, led by PhD student Miguel Mesquita who defends his thesis very soon! We define a bilirubin threshold for malaria protection using catalytically deficient BVRA mouse mutants. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2026.115958
