Rajesh Chandramohanadas

About

Rajesh’s research focuses on molecular microbiology and biochemistry, with a primary interest in understanding erythrocyte deformations arising from infectious agents (malaria), chemical/ oxidative damage or life-style diseases. Using multi-disciplinary approaches, his laboratory dissects the molecular pathways underpinning host selection and manipulation by infectious agents. Another evolving facet of his research is to understand determinants of red blood cell tropism by Plasmodium spp, with over-arching implications in progressive parasite adaptation, zoonosis and drug resistance.
