Genome variation and selection in clinical isolates from rural Malawi
As part of his PhD research Harold Ocholla worked with colleagues at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and in Malawi to collect uncultured paediatric P. falciparum isolates from malaria patients in a region of high malaria transmission in the Chikwawa and Zomba districts of Malawi over multiple malaria seasons. The goal of his work is to map genome variation and genetic signatures of evolutionary selection in these parasite populations in space and time, to identify associations between genetic variants and important clinical malaria phenotypes.
