Mariko Dale is a Postdoctoral fellow at Umeå University focusing on the interaction between Plasmodium berghei and its mosquito hosts. Her research explores how Plasmodium berghei infection alters mosquito hemolymph metabolites, providing insights on host-parasite interactions at a single-cell level. Through dynamic monitoring of hemolymph metabolite content over time, she aims to identify essential metabolites involved in the infection. Additionally, her research employs single-cell analysis of both infected and non-infected cells, incorporating the transcriptome of the parasite to deepen the understanding of host-parasite dynamics. Mariko earned her PhD from the University of Bern, Switzerland, where she studied host-parasite interactions of Cryptosporidium parvum. Her work included identifying exported parasite proteins and analyzing the transcriptional response to infections in neonatal mice, also at a single-cell level. Mariko is a member of the Oliver Billker Lab, contributing to ongoing research in the field.
