Our work is focused on understanding host-parasite interactions during the pre-erythrocytic and pre-symptomatic phase of malaria. We are leveraging rodent models, hepatocyte culture systems, and single-cell-based approaches (imaging and transcriptomics) to understand the impact of host metabolism on the outcome of Plasmodium liver infection.
We are always looking for postdocs or students with an interest in Plasmodium and liver-stage biology. If you are interested in joining our team, please send your CV and cover letter to Liliana Mancio (liliana.mancio@pasteur.fr).
