JRF

JRF for antimalarial drug Discovery Project on “Discovering Antimalarials from Marine Organisms (phase III): Bulk Recollection of Promising Marine Organisms-Isolation, Purification, Characterization and Chemical Synthesis of Marine derived Antimalarials”

This multi institutional DBT project will use state of the art activity guided HPLC purification of antiplasmodial molecules derived from extracts of marine organisms. Screening of extracts and purified molecules will be done in microtiter plate format by ex vivo culture of Plasmodium falciparum strains in human red blood cells and inhibition of growth of malaria parasite will be monitored by SYBR Green based Fluorescence screen. Selectivity Indices will be determined by comparing IC50 (Mammalian cell)/IC50 (P.falciparum). Only those with good credentials in chromatography, Spectroscopy, Molecular Biology, Cell biology, diligent habits of experiment documentation and aptitude for drug discovery need apply within six weeks to:
