Professor Emily Derbyshire focuses on the intersection of chemical biology and molecular genetics, particularly exploring the biology of malaria parasites. Her lab, the Derbyshire Lab, employs innovative chemical tools and biological methods to uncover novel aspects of malaria parasite biology, with the ultimate goal of identifying druggable targets. The lab engages in various projects that include developing assays for phenotypic and target-based screens, studying biological pathways, and identifying small molecules with potential therapeutic value. Derbyshire's approach is interdisciplinary and emphasizes collaboration, integrating techniques from chemical biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry to address complex questions regarding parasite biology in a global context.
