DOLF is hiring! We’re looking for a postdoctoral research associate in NTDs to perform lab research on helminth parasites, to assist in clinical trials for river blindness treatment, and to manage large data sets. See the WashU Jobs site for more info! sites.wustl.edu/dolfproject/wo…
Congratulations to DOLF collaborator, Prof. Taniawati Supali, for receiving the Sarwono Award! She was given the prestigious award for her work to support the elimination of lymphatic filariasis in Indonesia. dolfproject.wustl.edu/congratulation…
Rishika Mallu, a WashU undergraduate, joined the DOLF lab this summer to identify onchocerciasis presence in blackflies from Cote d’Ivoire. Her work will help us understand if MDA led to a measurable reduction in O. volvulus DNA in blackflies in that region.
This summer, DOLF hosted Dr. Peter McCarthy as a WashU School of Public Health MPH practicum student. Dr. McCarthy analyzed and compared onchocerciasis data from Liberia and Ghana, and assisted in writing a clinical trial protocol for an upcoming study in Liberia.
Last month, DOLF team members attended the @AAVParasit Annual Meeting in St. Louis! Dr. Irina Diekmann presented a One Health approach to eliminating LF, and Dr. Lucia Sanchez Di Maggio presented on identifying DNA repeats of Paragonimus kellicotti.
We wish Dr. Gary Weil all the best as he embarks on the next stage of his long and fruitful career: retirement!
Our molecular helminthology investigators, led by Dr. Sarah Greene, developed a valuable new diagnostic tool for onchocerciasis or river blindness. Read about it in the new article in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene! ajtmh.org/view/journals/…
DOLF recently lost Dr. Edward B. Guizie, our clinical ophthalmologist in Bong Mines, Liberia. Dr. Guizie was a beloved and dedicated member of the team and he will be greatly missed. dolfproject.wustl.edu/dolf-mourns-th…
Earlier this month, DOLF hosted our 15th Anniversary Symposium in St. Louis. We celebrated past achievements, the people who've made them possible, and looked forward towards our goal of eliminating onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis. Thank you to all who were able to join!
Congratulations to @DOLF_Project on 15 years of research to eliminate river blindness and lymphatic filariasis! #beatNTDs #StampOutOncho #EliminateLF dolfproject.wustl.edu

@DOLF_Project PI, Dr. Peter Fischer, and associate director Laura Peer traveled to Liberia in October for a mid-trial visit the site of DOLF’s clinical trial of treatment for the neglected tropical disease onchocerciasis (known as “river blindness”). > l8r.it/56ky

In December, DOLF postdoc Dr. Irina Diekmann travelled with a portable qPCR machine to Jakarta, Indonesia to help standardize assays and facilitate on-site testing for filarial DNA in mosquitoes. Read more about the project here: dolfproject.wustl.edu/field-note-por…
This year at #ASTMH, DOLF held a meeting with research partners and stakeholders. We heard from several ongoing projects, and discussed what the future looks like for the elimination of #onchocerciasis and #lymphaticfilariasis!
DOLF Postdoc, Irina Diekmann, received the Honorable Mention for the Young Investigators Award @ASTMH #TropMed24! Irina presented her research on lymphatic filariasis in macaques and other mammals in Indonesia, and what this might mean for LF elimination. Congratulations Irina!
The DOLF team had a great time at @ASTMH #TropMed24 this year in New Orleans! Members from our team participated in several speaker and poster sessions, presenting on key topics related to onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis elimination!
