AboutAbout the lab
Malaria and Entamoeba histolytica, at the molecular level
The Biomedical Chemistry Lab studies the parasitic protozoa that cause malaria and amoebiasis.
The lab investigates, at the molecular level, how these protozoa cause disease and the metabolic pathways unique to them.
Its experimental approaches are wide-ranging, including molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics.
International students and researchers are always present in the lab, giving it a thoroughly international atmosphere.
Key terms
- Protozoa
- Single-celled microorganisms that are closer to animals than to plants. Some, such as malaria parasites and Entamoeba histolytica, cause disease in humans.
- Phagocytosis
- The process by which a cell engulfs other cells or large particles and takes them in.
- Omics analysis
- Analysis that comprehensively measures genes, proteins, metabolites, and other molecules in order to study them as a whole.
ResearchResearch themes
Using parasitic protozoa as study organisms, the lab investigates how they cause disease and the metabolism unique to them. Its focus areas include vesicular trafficking, phagocytosis, autophagy, amino acid metabolism, RNA maturation, and drug discovery.
