Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people around the world every year. Texas Biomed‘s own scientist Ian Cheeseman, Ph.D., and his team at specialize in the genetics of the parasite that causes malaria.
Listen to Texas BioMed’s latest podcast episode 2, Much Ado About Malaria, from TXBiobytes.
His newest study published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution was recently highlighted in the Editors Choice section of the prestigious journal Science.
“At the basic level we simply do not know what’s in a malaria infection, even though this has profound implications for how we think about treating and eradicating this disease,” Cheeseman said.
Using various technologies, these scientists are literally cracking open cells and using single cell DNA sequencing to discover previously unknown characteristics of malarial infections.
