The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $459,131 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Ohio State University (OSU) to conduct research on the essential functions of the mitochondrion in malaria parasites. This 5-year grant, awarded on August 20, 2024, aims to expand the druggable parasite proteome across all stages of malaria infection by focusing on the parasite mitochondrion as a promising source of drug targets. The research seeks to identify essential processes within the mitochondrion that could lead to the development of new drugs capable of preventing, treating, and blocking transmission of malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. The grant leverages OSU's extensive experience in federal research and development projects, including collaborations with other research institutions, to advance the understanding of malaria biology and support the discovery of novel antimalarial therapies.
