Funded Activity Summary

Culturing the parasite that causes malaria in the laboratory is essential for research. Variations in how the parasites are cultured will be investigated for their effect on the parasite. We are particularly interested in how different conditions affect the parasites’ response to malaria drugs. By understanding how environmental parameters impact on the parasites and their response to anti-malarial drugs, we will improve our understanding of drug resistance to malaria, thus design better drugs.
