About this position
This research fellowship at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland focuses on genetics and parasite biologycontrolled human malaria infection studies that support anti-malaria drug and vaccine testing.
The project combines wet-lab and computational work. The participant will engage with internal and external researchers on the culture adaptation and cloning of field malaria parasite strains, and will gain hands-on experience with parasite cultures at multiple stages of development under cGMP conditions. The research environment also includes the use of modern genomic and bioinformatic workflows for analysis of microsatellites, targeted sequencing, SNPs, and whole-genome sequencing.
The fellowship highlights practical exposure to state-of-the-art software and analysis tools, including DNASTAR’s Genomics Suite and GeneMapper. The work is positioned within WRAIR’s broader biomedical research mission supporting force health protection and readiness, offering experience in a high-impact defense research setting.
