BAUM LAB - Key Persons
: Anne joins us following her Masters at UTS exploring vaccine target antigens in Toxoplasma. Her PhD focus centres on finding next generation targets for a pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccine.
Postdoctoral Scientist. Joining us back in Oz having developed innovative programs in rodent malaria barcoding, Claire is the lead postdoc for our work on transmission at UNSW.
Research Assistant. Darren joins us with a strong background in histology and mouse models. He's going to run the insectary and get transmission going! Exciting times.
: Emmanuel is an international PhD student, coming to us having spent several years working on malaria transmission in both France and Cambodia. He aims to blaze a trail in transmission blocking strategies.
: Grace joins us following Honours at the Centenary Institute where she studied mitochondrial regulation in Mycobacterium abscessus infection, now moving to T-cell epitope discovery for next generation vaccines.
: Joining us in Sydney after a Masters in the Imperial College laboratory, Jem will be tackling key questions in sporozoite biology towards pre-erythrocytic vaccinology in particular the identification of novel B-cell target antigens.
Postdoctoral Scientist. Fresh from the USA (Fidock lab) Kurt joins us as part of a collaboration with Anne Houdusse (Curie) and Kathy Trybus (Vermont) to work on Plasmodium myosin motors.
Postdoctoral Scientist. Behdad is our first bona fide engineer and joins us at an exciting time where we are starting to re-establish transmission and parasite purification, this time in Sydney!
