Research summary

Krithika Rajaram studies the biology of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, with a focus on its metabolism and a specialized organelle called the apicoplast. Their work examines how the parasite manages energy production, essential nutrients (like iron-sulfur clusters and isoprenoids), and drug resistance mechanisms, particularly in response to experimental antimalarial compounds. This research aims to identify vulnerabilities in parasite metabolism that could inform future antimalarial drug development.
