Targeting the metabolism of parasitic protozoa [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Malcolm McConville (Principal investigator)

Brief description Efforts to control the spread of devastating parasitic diseases, such as malaria, leishmaniasis, cryptosporidiosis and toxoplasmosis, have been limited by the inadequacy of current drug options. This proposal will utilize advanced analytical and computational approaches to identify aspects of host-pathogen metabolism that are essential for disease and use this information to prioritize new drug targets and develop antimicrobial drug leads.
