Adele Lehane

Job Titles:
  • Group Leader - Lehane Group - Antimalarial Drug Action and Resistanc
Adele Lehane's PhD (2006-2010) on the mechanism of chloroquine resistance in the malaria parasite was carried out at the ANU. Immediately following her PhD, Adele relocated to Columbia University on an NHMRC Overseas Biomedical Fellowship (2010-2012) before returning to the ANU for the Australia-based years of the fellowship. Adele is currently an ARC DECRA Fellow and a Senior Lecturer at ANU. Adele uses and develops physiological and biochemical techniques to study the mechanisms of action of, and resistance to, antimalarial drugs. Her most recent research is centred on ion regulation in malaria and Toxoplasma parasites as a source of new drug targets.
