Laboratory of malaria and vector research national institutes of health

Hello sir can you please provide me information about Laboratory of malaria and vector research national institutes of health??

[Quick Sam]

National Institutes of Health (NIH) was established in 1887, The Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research (LMVR) are dedicated to studies of malaria and insect vectors of infectious diseases.

Its environment is highly collaborative and it is organized to foster research teamwork by experts in various disciplines of the biological, physical, and medical sciences.

Sir I want to know about the lab of the National Institutes Of Health named Laboratory of malaria and vector research and major areas of r esearch

[Kiran Chandar]

The Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research (LMVR) is dedicated to studies of malaria and insect vectors of infectious diseases.


Thomas E. Wellems, was the Chief, of the Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research and the Chief, of the Malaria Genetics Section

Program

The Investigations in the Malaria Genetics Section focus on the determinants of drug resistance, immune evasion, and disease virulence in malaria.

Following are included in the area of study

Antimalarial drug resistance and factors that affect clinical outcome after treatment

Malaria protection conferred by human hemoglobinopathies and other red cell
polymorphisms

Antigenic variation by Plasmodium falciparum parasites

Molecular mechanisms of malaria parasite infectivity and pathogenesis


Major Areas of Research

Antimalarial drug responses and factors that affect clinical outcome after treatment

Malaria protection conferred by human hemoglobinopathies and red cell
polymorphisms

Antigenic variation by Plasmodium falciparum parasites

Molecular mechanisms of malaria parasite infectivity and pathogenesis

Role of vector saliva in blood feeding by arthropods, where a great diversity of pharmacologically active compounds and new targets for vaccination against vector-
borne diseases have been uncovered

Discovery and determination of mode of action of novel anti-clotting, anti-platelet,
immunomodulatory, and vasodilatory agents

Expression of novel proteins and peptides with known and unknown function

Development of tools for transcriptome annotation
