Congratulations Cordy Lab Undergraduates!
It is strange not going into our physical building anymore, and many projects got halted, but it has been nice that we’ve been able to keep research going in various ways remotely.
Congrats to our undergraduates, who have made it through a strange and tough semester. We appreciate all your contributions to the Cordy Lab.
And a special congrats to our graduating seniors – it has been great having you ! Best wishes with all your future endeavors !
Mini-Review Article Accepted for Publication!
A mini-review authored by RJC has been accepted into Frontiers in Microbiology ! The review discusses the human metabolome in the context of malaria transmission.
CLINICALLY SILENT RELAPSING MALARIA MAY STILL POSE A THREAT
Rhesus macaques with clinically undetectable Plasmodium relapse infections still harbor parasitic gametocytes that may be infectious to mosquitoes, according to a study published September 19 in PLOS Pathogens by F. Eun-Hyung Lee and Mary R. Galinski of Emory University, Tracey J. Lamb of the University of Utah, and colleagues. The study has important epidemiological implications relevant to malaria elimination strategies.

SEEKING BETTER DETECTION FOR CHRONIC MALARIA
Malaria metabolomics research was recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The research team includes scientists from Emory University, Mahidol University, and the University of Georgia. The study was funded in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
