Funded Activity Summary
Biogenesis of red blood cell membrane modifications by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Malaria is not only a major global health problem, but also affects countries neighbouring Australia like Indonesia, reducing the region's stability and prosperity. Environmental changes and increased mobility of people (aid and military personnel) make Australia itself more prone to malaria. The project will translate recent genomic data into functional insights using frontier technology to identify new intervention targets for Plasmodium falciparum infection. Developing novel targets is mandated by humanity, but also to safeguard Australia's region against the social and economic implications of this disease. An Australian developed intervention would increase the global visibility of its science, leading to increased investments.Funded Activity Details
