Fighting Malaria through Mathematical Analysis of Parasite's Metabolism

Caption

Computational analysis of the malaria parasites' metabolism aids in the understanding of observed phenotypes. Red fluorescent Plasmodium berghei parasites infect green fluorescent erythrocytes of mouse.

Credit

Prof. Volker Heussler in the University of Bern produced the images of fluorescent malaria parasites. Dr. Soh and Dr. Ljubisa in the EPFL generated the metabolic network. Prof. Vassily Hatzimanikatis and Anush Chiappino-Pepe in the EPFL generated the final image.
