معرفی
Tracey Lamb is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Utah. Her research focuses on malaria immunopathogenesis, Plasmodium parasite interactions, and vaccine development. She holds a BSc from the University of Glasgow and a PhD from the University of Edinburgh.
- Education
- BSc, University of Glasgow, Scotland
- PhD, University of Edinburgh, Scotland
Lamb's research spans four core areas: Eph receptor tyrosine kinases in malaria pathogenesis, ephrin ligand modulation of T cell responses, co-infection dynamics with pathogens like Epstein-Barr virus, and oral vaccine delivery systems using probiotic yeast. Her lab investigates how Eph receptors contribute to liver fibrosis and cerebral malaria, while exploring probiotic yeast-based vaccines for cost-effective mass distribution.
The lab's recent publications highlight trends in malaria research, including molecular mechanisms of endothelial barrier disruption, immune evasion by Plasmodium, CD8+ T cell affinity in disease progression, and ephrin-Eph signaling in immunopathogenesis. Collaborations extend to the Center du Pasteur Cameroon and Emory University's Speck Lab.
