Author Information
David Andrew Baker is a prominent researcher in the field of Infectious Diseases, affiliated with the Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom. His work predominantly focuses on the molecular and cellular biology of malaria parasites, particularly Plasmodium falciparum. His research aims to understand the complex life cycle of malaria parasites and their interactions with host cells, which is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies.Research Contributions
David Andrew Baker has made significant contributions to the understanding of malaria parasite biology, with a particular focus on sexual commitment, egress, and maturation stages of Plasmodium falciparum. His recent publications highlight the roles of various proteins and signaling pathways essential for the parasite's life cycle, including cGMP synthesis, calcium signaling, and the use of kinase inhibitors for synchronization of parasite stages. Baker's work is pivotal in identifying potential targets for new antimalarial drugs, as evidenced by his research on the cGMP-dependent protein kinase and its regulatory mechanisms.Aliases
