Brief description Malaria parasites move in a unique way. They move across cell surfaces and infect human cells using a unique molecular motor that allows them to, literally, glide. The research proposal outlined here is focused on understanding a key part of the motor – the dynamic protein actin – and by understanding how it is regulated develop new potential targets for novel drugs that might stop movement and, therefore, help prevent or treat malaria disease.
