Professor Henk Stunnenberg's research group plays an important part in international malaria research. In 2002, with the aid of an advanced mass spectrometer at the University of Odense, his group discovered 1300 unique proteins from the genetic material of the malaria parasite. Given the highly complex life cycle of the parasite, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms and factors involved in regulating this cycle is crucial for combating the disease. From the proteins discovered, 189 have been selected that play a crucial role in the infection process. Further selections are expected to produce 5 to 10 potential candidates for a vaccine. Stunnenberg closely collaborates with Professor Robert Sauerwein's group at the Centre for Clinical Malaria Studies, a European research facility dedicated to malaria vaccine testing.
