Functional analysis of molecular mechanisms associated with invasion of erythrocytes by human malaria parasite.

The main objective of this project is to explore methods of high throughput functional genomics to analyze molecular mechanisms associated with the invasion machinery by which the human malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum invade its host erythrocytes. These mechanisms are highly unique to this o...
