The 1st of May, Nick Proellocks will join the lab of Taco Kooij at the Dept. of Medical Microbiology to work on a cutting-edge project studying the roles of a large Plasmodium falciparum gene family (the PfPHIST family) in parasite-host interactions, host-cell remodelling, and transmission.
He will combine the latest CRISPR-Cas9-based experimental genetics approaches with microfluidics devices to investigate rheological properties of the infected red blood cells. The project involves a number of collaborations, both local (Robert Sauerwein & Wilhelm Huck) and international (Hans-Peter Beck – Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute; Brian Cooke – Monash University, Australia).
