Project Summary: The Leishmania Research Laboratory focuses on discovery of novel inhibitors and drug targets against Leishmania infections. The research activities are focused on two key areas: discovery of novel lead compounds in collaboration with screening and chemistry platforms in the institute, and understanding the fundamental biology of Leishmania with a special emphasis on the kinetoplast of Leishmania. At the interface of these two approaches, we ultimately aim to identify lead compounds that target the kinetoplast specifically and identify possible new drug targets.
