Why this work needs you

Malaria still kills more than one million children per year — yet pharmaceutical development has declined steadily since the disease was eradicated from developed nations after World War II.

Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to finding novel therapeutic approaches to combating malaria, supported by advanced sequencing, confocal microscopy, mass spectrometry and computational resources at UC Riverside. Alongside grant funding, the lab welcomes private donations to accelerate this work.
