A Japan-Sweden malaria venture net
(Kaneko Akira, Associate Professor)


Tracing the routes from mainland Africa to South-east Asia, Island Melanesia and Madagascar, we aim at a better understanding of how humans, parasites and mosquitoes have co-evolved over time and » more
Amodiaquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria and gene polymorphisms in Kenya.
(Holmgren Gabrielle, Ph.D. Student)


Calcium and drug resistance in malaria parasites
(Kaneko Akira, Associate Professor)


Participants: - Per Uhlen, Assist Professor - Pedro Ferreira, PhD » more
Calcium Signaling and Drug Resistance in Malaria Parasites
(Uhlen Per, Assistant Professor)


The overall goal of this project is to study the role of calcium (Ca2+) signaling for drug resistance in the human malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum). A major obstacle in today’s malaria control » more
Characterization a conserved molecule expressed on the surface of the Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocyte
(Chen Qijun, Associate Professor)


Malaria parasites evade human immune clearance by antigenic variation. We have recently identified a conserved molecule which is expressed on the infected erythrocyte surface. Functional analysis of » more
Development of an anti-severe malaria vaccine
(Chen Qijun, Associate Professor)


A virulence factor of Plasmodium falciparum parasites expressed on the infected erythrocyte has been investigated in the vaccine development. A recombinant Mini-gene was cloned in the vaccine » more
Diagnostics of Primary Immunodeficiency In Newborns
(Janzi Magdalena, Ph.D. Student)


Dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii to the CNS and tissue-specific control of infection in that site
(Dellacasa Lindberg Isabel, Student)


Genetic determinants of virulence during Toxoplasmosis
(Barragan Antonio, Associate Professor)


Dramatic differences in acute virulence between parasite strains exist in nature, yet little is known about the underlying biological or genetic factors that mediate these differences. Using » more
Genome deletions and duplications
(Wahlgren Mats, Professor)


In this project we study the presence of gene copy number polymorphisms (CNPs). Further analysis of the impact of discovered genetic differences and the underlying mechanisms is likely to generate a » more
