Biography
Having previously worked in molecular biology orientated laboratories in both Hamburg and Melbourne, Christine is now responsible for the electron microscopy work that is being done within Professor James Beeson’s laboratory. She uses Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to answer specific questions about the malaria parasite.
Research Interest
Understanding cell surface morphology of malaria cell lines, describing interactions between different cell types; showing changes to the morphology of cell compartments in genetic manipulated cell lines or tracking specific antigens with the help of immunolabelling.
