Professor Campagna Part of the Team Identified Bacterial Genes that Could Lessen Severity of Malaria
KNOXVILLE—Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have identified a set of bacterial genes that may help them find ways to lessen the severity of the disease malaria.
Their findings could also aid the research of fellow scientists working in malaria-stricken regions around the world.
The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology.
Collaborators in this work include Steven Wilhelm, the Kenneth and Blaire Mossman Professor in the UT Department of Microbiology; Shawn Campagna, UT associate professor of chemistry; Gary LeCleir, UT research assistant professor of microbiology; Joshua Stough, UT doctoral student in microbiology; and Nathan Schmidt, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Louisville.
