This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855), provides $633,218 to Washington University to conduct research on the function of the PFNCR1 cholesterol transporter protein in the malaria parasite. The research aims to characterize the mechanism of inhibition of PFNCR1 by new small molecule inhibitors, and to explore the components and interactions in the membrane contact zone between the parasite plasma membrane and parasitophorous vacuolar membrane where PFNCR1 resides. This collaborative project between researchers Dr. Daniel Goldberg and Dr. Ed Yu is anticipated to provide new insights into this important cholesterol transporter as a potential antimalarial drug target, as well as the unexplored membrane contact region surrounding the malaria parasite. The award period runs from July 17, 2025 through June 30, 2030.
