Grant Activity:
Mapping B-cell fate to improve humoral immunity to malaria
Purpose:
Malaria killed half a million people in 2019. While ~60 vaccines exist against viral or bacterial diseases, no effective vaccines exist against malaria-causing parasites. Immunity to malaria can be mediated by antibodies. This depends on immune cells called B- and T-cells, conducting a choreographed series of interactions in immune organs. This process appears defective in malaria for reasons unknown. We will determine these reasons, and provide new ways for boosting immunity to malaria.
