Mechanisms and targets of antibody-complement interactions that neutralize malaria [ 2018 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof James Beeson (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Freya Fowkes ,  Dr Michelle Boyle ,  Prof Geoffrey Mcfadden

Brief description Our project aims to identify immune mechanisms that neutralize malaria from the moment of inoculation by a mosquito, before infection can become established to prevent the development of malaria disease. Furthermore, we will discover specific targets of protective immune responses. We expect this project will provide major new advances in our knowledge of human immunity to P. falciparum malaria, one of the world’s most significant causes of mortality and morbidity, and we will use this knowledge
