We study malaria parasites. Malaria continues to impair childhood wellbeing and economic development throughout Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is a leading global cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa including Ghana. We currently lack effective malaria vaccines for malaria control and alternative molecules as drugs, and our knowledge of the biology and immunology of the transmission stages of these important parasites is limited, which is the current focus of our research program.
