What they do

The Goldberg Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis studies the biology of malaria parasites to define and develop new drug targets, including how parasites export proteins into red blood cells, exit infected cells, and survive fever.1 As a core member of the Gates Foundation–funded Malaria Drug Accelerator (MalDA) consortium, the lab contributes to target discovery and early antimalarial drug development, and it also studies drug resistance.1 Its U.S. R&D is based in St. Louis, Missouri.1 The work is at the discovery stage.1
