Leiden Malaria Research Group

Our studies are aimed at developing interventions against human malaria; both by examining and manipulating the human malaria-parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and by exploiting rodent models of malaria parasites (Plasmodium berghei, P. yoelii). This research, embedded in the research themes ‘Infection’ and ‘Immunity’ of the Department is performed under supervision of Dr. Chris J. Janse and Dr. Blandine Franke-Fayard.
