Funded Activity Summary

Amino acid transporters and the chloroquine resistance transporter of the intracellular malaria parasite. This work entails an ongoing collaboration between three independent research groups with highly complementary expertise and experience. It will make a significant contribution to the maintenance of Australia's scientific capabilities and training opportunities. The project will yield important insights into the biology of the causative agent of a major human disease, and the mechanism by which the malaria parasite has developed resistance to antimalarial drugs. Although not yet endemic in Australia, malaria is a serious problem in the local region and this work will help Australia meet its obligations to carry out high-quality research that advances our knowledge in this area.
