Infected erythrocyte surface team (SURFACE)
Research in the SURFACE team is focussed on immunological and functional characterization of antigens on the surface of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes, to improve the understanding of the role these antigens (in particular PfEMP1) play in pathogenesis and protective immunity.
Current research projects include studies of the epitope-specificity and effector functions of PfEMP1-specific human antibodies, regulation of PfEMP1-specific immune responses, and the role of haemoglobinopathies on acquired immunity to malaria.
