Research Focus & Interests
We are interested in the mechanisms by which malaria parasites interact with their host cells to create a successful intracellular niche for survival. My lab uses genetic, biochemical and cell biology approaches to dissect the transport mechanisms and secreted effectors that enable the malaria parasite to interface with and co-opt its erythrocyte and hepatocyte host cells.
