BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Structure-function studies of multidrug resistance transporters of the malaria parasite »
Many genes that have been recently identified as determinants of drug resistance in the malaria parasite encode membrane transport proteins (also known as transporters).

BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Study of O-acetyltransferase B (oacB) and three novel orfs encoded by Sf101 bacteriophage of Shigella flexneri »
In my project, I explored how oacB gene was acquired in these strains and the mechanism by which OacB modifies O-antigen. Using bioinformatics tools, I investigated the distribution of oacB gene in whole-genome sequences of over 80 clinical isolates of S. flexneri.

Forward genetic screening identifies a link between Plasmodium falciparum fever response, artemisinin resistance and the algal origins of the apicoplast »
The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum parasites that are resistant to front-line antimalarial artemisinin-combination therapies (ACT) threatens to erase the considerable gains against the disease of the last decade. We developed a new large-scale phenotypic screening pipeline and used it to carry out the fi
