Benjamin Liffner studies the cell biology of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, focusing on how the parasite invades and develops inside human red blood cells. Much of the work identifies and characterizes specific parasite proteins—such as those in the rhoptry organelles, membrane transporters, and microtubule-associated proteins—that are essential for the parasite's life cycle and could serve as targets for antimalarial drugs.
Publication activity has been steady since 2019, averaging around six papers per year, with a notable peak in 2023.
