Biography

Mitchell Trickey is a research fellow at Monash University specializing in the identification of novel antimalarial therapeutics to combat the rise of drug resistance caused by parasites. He completed his PhD at Deakin University in 2025, where his research focused on identifying nutrient pathways relating to the causative agents of malaria and potential therapeutic targets. Mitchell has published multiple papers that outline novel methodologies for investigating nutrient channels and characterizing essential proteins, employing genetic engineering techniques in both human and rodent species of malaria. Currently, he is part of the Creek laboratory at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS), utilizing his expertise in malaria parasite microbiology and cell biology to identify potent antimalarial drugs and elucidate their mechanisms of action. His work at MIPS also leverages systems biology techniques and metabolomics to understand the complex biology of parasites and the dynamics of drug interactions and target deconvolution.
