Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have exposed a fatal flaw in the deadly parasite that causes malaria - one of the world's biggest killers.
Amber Condell likes stories - both hearing them and telling them. That’s why she likes studying genetics.
A study led by researchers at ANU could lead to new treatments for combating drug-resistant malaria, as well as boost existing drugs.
In fiction and popular culture, parasitic characters appear as a metaphor for the threat and spread of disease.
My group focuses on understanding the function of integral membrane transporters and receptors from a structural perspective.
Professor Geoff McFadden has been awarded the Ralph Slatyer Medal for research in understanding the malaria parasite.

Pantothenate, a precursor of the fundamental enzyme cofactor coenzyme A (CoA), is an essential nutrient for the intraerythrocytic stage of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
Twist Bioscience is a leading and rapidly growing synthetic biology and genomics company that has developed a disruptive DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology. The core of the platform is a proprietary technology that pioneers a new method of manufacturing synthetic DNA by “writing” DNA on a silicon chip.
My PhD research investigates the formation, composition, and dynamics of lipid-rich compartments during blood-stage development of P. falciparum, using advanced microscopy techniques including Nile Red spectral imaging and 3D focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).
Diagnose earlier and treat smarter is my policy to find cure for human diseases. The investigation of the disease progression at genome and proteome level can accurately tell us the medicinal tools to fix the problem.
Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are essential for electrical signaling in excitable tissues, including the brain, heart, and muscles.
Many proteins migrate from cytoplasm to nucleus through their recognition by specialist receptors known as importins (IMPs).
