Pauline Formaglio

Pauline Formaglio is a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, focusing on Plasmodium species and their interactions with mammalian hosts. Her work primarily investigates the liver stage infection and sporozoite biology of malaria parasites, contributing to the understanding of protective immunological mechanisms and potential vaccine strategies. Publications highlight her expertise in parasite transmission dynamics, host-pathogen interactions, and cell shape maintenance in Plasmodium sporozoites.

Recent research includes the cytotoxicity of anti-circumsporozoite antibodies, IL-6-mediated immune modulation, and concanin's role in sporozoite integrity. Her studies often employ in vivo models, 3D substrate assays, and intravital imaging to analyze malaria infection processes. Collaborations span institutions like CNRS and IRD, with work published in top journals such as Immunity, Cell Reports, and Frontiers in Immunology.
