David Fidock | Molecular insights into antimalarial drug resistance
Malaria exerts a devastating impact on communities in the Global South, with upwards of 600,000 deaths yearly, primarily young African children. Using genetic approaches, we have explored the molecular basis of Plasmodium falciparum antimalarial drug resistance, which poses a constant threat to malaria treatment and control efforts. Using a genetic cross, we earlier identified that mutations in…

Joseph Schlessinger | Discovering how receptor tyrosine kinases are activated and signals
The first growth factors identified and studied during the early 1970s were Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). It was soon demonstrated that EGF and NGF mediate their cellular and physiological effects by binding to specific cell membrane receptors: the EGF receptor (EGFR) and the NGF receptor (NGFR), respectively. The mechanisms of activation and signaling of these…
