Despite the large investment in malaria research, especially in the context of disease elimination efforts on the ground, we are still left with many unanswered questions about the fundamental biological mechanisms underpinning malaria parasite transmission from humans to mosquitoes and back. On that issue, Rhoel Dinglasan (University of Florida) will give an open seminar on April 27.

This is an excellent opportunity to know his lab’s progress towards the development of field-deployable tools, enabling technologies, and analytical platforms to support malaria elimination. He will also discuss conceptual and validated strategies to leverage existing research on basic gametocyte and ookinete developmental biology and vector host-pathogen interactions in collaborative efforts to populate the current pipeline of anti-malarial interventions.

Rhoel Dinglasan is Associate Professor of Infectious Disease at the Emerging Pathogens Institute (University of Florida) and director of CDC Southeastern Regional Center of Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases: Gateway Programme.
