Biography
Andrew’s work is focused on the characterisation of antibody responses against unstructured proteins from the malaria parasite. This involves a combination of computational biology and laboratory based epitope-mapping techniques. This work hopes to identify new targets of protective immunity which can be used as potential vaccine targets.
