Lehane, Adele - The Australian National University

个人简介

Adele Lehane’s PhD (2006-2010) on the mechanism of chloroquine resistance in the malaria parasite was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Kiaran Kirk at the School of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, ANU. Immediately following her PhD, Adele relocated to Prof. David Fidock’s laboratory at Columbia University, New York, for two years (2010-2012) on an NHMRC Overseas Biomedical Fellowship before returning to the ANU for the Australia-based years of the fellowship. Adele uses a variety of physiological and biochemical techniques to study the mechanisms of action of, and resistance to, antimalarial drugs. During her PhD she devised a live-cell fluorescence-based assay for monitoring the efflux of drugs from the digestive vacuole of intact malaria parasites, and uses this system to study the interactions of compounds with the parasite’s Chloroquine Resistance Transporter. Adele is currently an ARC DECRA Fellow, and her most recent research is centred on ion regulation in malaria and Toxoplasma parasites as a source of new drug targets.
