Kurtis Lab

Biography

I am working in the Kurtis lab with the mission to combat P. falciparum malaria. Malaria continues to be a leading global infectious disease, claiming the lives of over 1,000 children daily. Our research is focused on developing vaccines, small-molecule drugs, and monoclonal antibodies designed with novel targets in mind, such as PIGARP.
