His research interests include functions of surface proteins of human parasite Plasmodium falciparum and mechanisms of parasite-host interactions, identification of malaria vaccine candidates, molecular mechanisms of low birth weight in placental malaria, and screening of drugs that specifically prevent adhesion of malaria parasitized erythrocytes to the host endothelial and immune cells. In addition, he works on development of tools and technologies for single cell analysis and high throughput approaches, as well as functional role of a giant endocytic and signaling receptor megalin in various tissues.
