Brief description 3 million children die every year from malaria infections. A leading vaccine candidate is a protein from the malaria parasite called AMA1. Humans that have been infected with malaria make antibodies to this protein which can kill parasites, however little is known about how this occurs. We aim to identify regions of the protein that generate antibodies that prevent malaria parasites from invading human cells and help in the search for a vaccine against malaria.
