The Vision of the Prudêncio Lab is to contribute to a world where the burden of malaria on the planet’s most vulnerable populations is significantly decreased. A distinctive feature of our research lies in approaching fundamental questions pertaining to the biology and immunology of Plasmodium infection from a translational perspective. Our research priorities are, therefore, defined and guided not only by “Why?” and “How?”, but also by “What for?”. With this, we strive to fulfil our Mission of utilizing scientific excellence to deliver a combination of new knowledge and novel antimalarial tools that can be harnessed to combat Plasmodium infection and malaria disease.
