United States

This project analyzes genome amplification events using single cell sequencing of malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum. The project aim to understand the mechanism of genome amplification and its role in antimalarial resistance. Ultimately, we hope to develop novel strategies to block the development of antimalarial resistance."
