'''Description:''' We use a target-based strategy based on surrogate genetics in yeast to discover and develop drug candidates directed against proteins from the Plasmodium malaria parasite. Plasmodium genes are cloned into vectors for regulatable expression in yeast. The human protein ortholog is expressed in a parallel yeast strain, and the effects of candidate drugs on growth of yeast strains expressing the parasite or the human protein are compared. The project is a collaboration involving several research groups representing different scientific disciplines, from Sweden and Brazil.
