About
What they do
The Ay Lab at La Jolla Institute for Immunology studies how the malaria parasite organizes its DNA and controls which genes are turned on or off.1,2 This work helps researchers understand how Plasmodium falciparum regulates genes involved in parasite survival, disease, and immune evasion, and may help identify new biological processes that could eventually be targeted to prevent or treat malaria.2 Its U.S. R&D is based in La Jolla, California, and the work is in the discovery stage.2
