Defining the Role of Maternal Cells in Fetal and Infant Immunity to Malaria
The focus of this project is to understand the role of maternal cells in infant immunity to malaria. Working in a malaria endemic setting, the goals of this project are to (1) define the phenotype and maintenance of maternal cells, and (2) define the contribution of maternal cells to anti-malarial immune responses in cord and infant peripheral blood. Funding is provided through a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for Medical Scientists through 2023.
