Emily R. Derbyshire is the Eads Family Professor at Duke University, where she leads a laboratory focused on the biology of malaria parasites. Her research employs a variety of chemical tools and biological methods to uncover novel aspects of parasitic biology, with the ultimate aim of identifying druggable targets for therapeutic development. The Derbyshire Lab's projects involve developing assays and phenotypic target-based screens, as well as exploring biological pathways and identifying small molecules with potential therapeutic value. This interdisciplinary program leverages expertise in chemical biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry to globally interrogate parasite behavior and identify new treatment avenues for malaria.
