I am a Research Fellow in Prof David Baker's laboratory. We use molecular and biochemical methodologies to understand the role of cyclic nucleotide signalling in regulating the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) life cycle.

Before assuming my current role, I served as a Research Fellow in the laboratories of Dr. Christiaan van Ooij (2021-2023) and Prof. David Conway (2019-2021).

As a research fellow in the van Ooij lab, my research centered on elucidating the impact of PV6, a phospholipid transfer protein, on the asexual development of Plasmodium falciparum. We utilized the DiCre conditional gene knock-down system to investigate the protein's influence on the expansion of the parasite parasitophorous vacuole membrane and the development of young Plasmodium falciparum forms.

As a research fellow in the Conway lab, my research focused on understanding the variability in sexual conversion among Plasmodium falciparum isolates, particularly in response to environmental conditions, providing insights into factors affecting the parasite's lifecycle and transmission dynamics.
