A research grant awarded by NIAID to study the metabolic regulation of B cell immune responses in malaria, focusing on the role of metabolites such as glutamine and glutamate, using in vivo and ex vivo experimental approaches.
Description
The project involves research on B cell metabolism and immune responses related to malaria. The project aims to investigate how metabolites like glutamine and glutamate influence B cell function during malaria infection. The research will utilize in vivo and ex vivo experiments, including targeted gene deletion mice and carbon tracing experiments. The project will contribute to scientific understanding and potential therapeutic approaches for malaria.
