Protein biomarker discovery for severe malarial anemia and malaria co-infections in children

Collaborators: Dr. Douglas J Perkins PhD and Dr. Prakasha Kempaiah PhD (Center for global health, UNM)

Using data collected on more than 1,000 children in Kenya by Dr. Perkins and his team we are trying to identify various types of plasma proteomic biomarkers of severe malarial anemia which is often associated with co-infections such as bacteremia and HIV.
