Emily Derbyshire: Interdisciplinary approaches to reveal parasite vulnerabilities

Within the liver a single Plasmodium parasite transforms into tens of thousands of blood infective forms to cause malaria. The Derbyshirelab combines chemical biology, biochemistry and genomics to uncover molecular events that drive this transient developmental stage within the liver. Through an integrative approach, we utilize small molecule probes, gene sequencing technologies and a forward... Speaker Institution: Duke University
