MALARIA RESEARCH LAB

In our laboratory we have focused on the biological and molecular processes driving malaria related functional abnormalities with-in brain, liver and immune cells of the host. One of the major research programs is to understand how signaling events within infected RBC are developing senescent RBCs and making these senescent cells to cause malaria associated functional abnormalities in vital organs of the host and the immune system. Also, we are interested to characterize proteins involved in cellular signaling, hemoglobin digestion and intracellular trafficking within plasmodium falciparum.
