Hot off the press! We have identified and characterized MFR3, a novel multidrug resistance mediator in P. falciparum. Read all about it in @ACS_Infectious: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

PfMFR3: A Multidrug-Resistant Modulator in Plasmodium falciparum

Abstract. In malaria, chemical genetics is a powerful method for assigning function to uncharacterized genes. MMV085203 and GNF-Pf-3600 are two structurall

Genomic Approaches to Drug Resistance in #Malaria by Frances Rocamora @WinzelerLabUCSD in @AnnualReviews annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…

Genomic Approaches to Drug Resistance in Malaria

Although the last two decades have seen a substantial decline in malaria incidence and mortality due to the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and artemisinin combination therapy, the threat of drug...

Great work by several MalDA members and collaborators showing that a rapamycin analog targets #Plasmodium FKBP35. Out now in @ACSMedChemLett! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Targeted Covalent Inhibition of Plasmodium FK506 Binding Protein 35

Abstract. FK506-binding protein 35, FKBP35, has been implicated as an essential malarial enzyme. Rapamycin and FK506 exhibit antiplasmodium activity in cul
