My research is focused on developing new tools to better measure malaria transmission and determine how some people are able to be infected with malaria parasites without becoming sick (naturally acquired immunity to malaria). We do this by studying malaria in its natural environment, applying novel laboratory and analytical methods to high quality field studies.

Most of our work is based in malaria endemic areas, primarily sub-Saharan Africa. My current projects focus on understanding the development of naturally acquired immunity, creating novel antibody-based tools to measure malaria exposure and immunologic protection, and using parasite genetics and spatial data to understand parasite transmission and evolution. I am dedicated to teaching and mentoring, and am coordinating efforts to democratize access to malaria genomics by improving access to laboratory and analysis methods including creating training resources as part of my role as co-director of the international Plasmodium Genomic Epidemiology (PlasmoGenEpi) network. My lab is based at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where I co-lead the UCSF EPPIcenter.
