Diagram illustrating the biochemical mechanisms of chloroquine resistance and hemozoin formation in a parasite's digestive vacuole, with emphasis on the role of the PfCRT protein.

The projects are generally based on our current research interests:

  • Drug resistance in the human malaria parasite.
  • Design and evaluation of novel antimalarial drugs.
  • Identification and characterisation of membrane transport proteins.
