Abstract : Unlike model organisms, malaria parasites divide in unconventional ways producing not two but dozens of daughter cells, in a single cell cycle round. This points to a yet-to-be-explored original and divergent cell cycle architecture where conventional rules likely do not apply. Our team’s focus is to elucidate how these parasites undergo and control cell cycle progression. We are especially interested in uncovering regulatory networks supporting this original developmental process, both to understand the fundamental biology of eukaryotic cells outside model organisms, and to discover targetable processes in the continuing fight against malaria
