Rhoel Dinglasan

Rhoel Dinglasan’s research has focused on finding a vaccine that will prevent malaria transmission. To better study these interactions, he is interested in the application of mass spectrometry toward the molecular and cellular analysis of critical transition steps during malaria parasite transmission. He has also studied how nanoparticle technology can contribute to the development of vaccine and drug delivery systems. Dinglasan’s lab has an interest in both supplementing and innovating the current arsenal of anti-malarial treatments. By investigating pathways of infection and disease development, his team hopes to find natural product compounds with potential as drug scaffolds for new anti-malaria drugs.
