I have been studying varying aspects of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, mainly the immunology, parasitology and pathogenesis of the disease, since 1985, and they continue to be my main research interests.

Current research

• Naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children and in pregnant women
• Effector functions of malaria antigen-specific antibodies
• The malaria-protective effect of certain hemoglobinopathies
• Malaria and endemic Burkitt Lymphoma

Fields of interest

• Naturally acquired immunity to P. falciparum malaria
• Immuno-evasion by P. falciparum parasites
• Enhancing malaria research capacity in Africa

Teaching

Regular teaching in immunology to undergraduate and graduate students at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University. Coordinator of the BSc course "Cellular and Medical Immunology".

Primary fields of research

• Immunology and pathogenesis of severe P. falciparum malaria in children.
• Immunology and pathogenesis of pregnancy-associated P. falciparum malaria.
• Immuno-evasive mechanisms and strategies of P. falciparum parasites.
