Jury’s commentary │ The harmonious collective motion – reminiscent of natural phenomena at widely different scales, such as schools of fish or flocks of birds – contrast with the chaotic and destructive nature of cancer, lending a somewhat eerie beauty to an often deadly disease.

The latest study from the Malaria Lab focuses on developing the next generation of malaria vaccines using genetically attenuated parasites (GAPs). By deleting two crucial genes for Plasmodium liver stage development, we demonstrate that our PbHscB-PbMei2 double-knockout (2-KO) parasite line results in a complete developmental arrest at this critical stage. This groudbreaking discovery paves the way for future vaccine designs targeting the Plasmodium liver stage, thereby preventing the symptomatic blood phase of malaria.
