Brief description The malaria parasite’s survival is reliant on efficient cell movement - a process that depends on the remodeling of the parasite actin cytoskeleton. The aim of this project is to understand how the actin cytoskeleton is disassembled when the parasite moves and to dissect the role of a key parasite protein, PfADF1, in the process. This project will elucidate fundamental insights into a key aspect of malaria parasite biology and, significantly, will shed light on how parasite movement can be inhibited.
