The Kappe Lab is focused on understanding the complex biology of the malaria parasite and the immune responses to infection, using this information to design transformational interventions that will help win the fight against malaria.

Research Interests:

  1. Malaria parasite Cell and Molecular Biology
  2. Host-Pathogen Interactions
  3. Immunology and Vaccine Development
  4. Malaria Clinical Trials
  5. Genetically Attenuated Parasite (GAP) Strains for Vaccination
  6. Animals models for Human Malaria
Associated Research: 
Signaling
Infectious Disease
