Welcome to the Egan Lab at Stanford!

Our Goal

The Egan lab seeks to understand how host factors from red blood cells influence the biology and pathogenesis of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. We are addressing a number of exciting questions in the lab, ranging from molecular parasitology to hematology to evolutionary biology, all with the long-term goal of understanding host-pathogen interactions in malaria
