معرفی
Taeko Naruse is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Protozoology, Institute of Tropical Medicine (NEKKEN), Nagasaki University, Japan. She serves as a Visiting Researcher at the AIDS Research Center, National Institute of Infectious Diseases. Her research spans malaria, genomic diversity, molecular genetics, and immunogenetics, with fieldwork in Japan, India, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ghana.
Research Interests:
- Malaria genome diversity and drug resistance mechanisms
- Human and primate immunogenetics focusing on MHC regions
- Molecular evolution of pathogens and hosts
- HLA typing for infectious disease susceptibility
- Advanced genotyping methods for tropical pathogens
Publication Trends: Recent works highlight malaria drug resistance (K13 mutations), HIV-1 immunogenetics (HLA and KIR gene interactions), and methodological innovations in NGS-based genotyping. Her research combines field studies in Africa (Kenya, Ghana) with molecular analysis of host-pathogen dynamics.
Labs & Collaborations: Works at Nagasaki University's Institute of Tropical Medicine and collaborates with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (Japan) and international teams in HIV/HLA genotyping studies.
