**wanted for April 1st 2025**, at the **Center for Infectious Diseases** for the **Parasitology department**.
**Investigating mechanisms of chromosome segregation during the exit of male **_Plasmodium_** gametes.**
Malaria is a devastating infectious disease that kills more than half a million people per year. It is caused by the eukaryotic, single-celled parasite _Plasmodium_, which infects mosquitoes to spread from host to host. At the Hentzschel lab, we investigate the biology of early mosquito infection, particularly the formation of male gametes. This is a fascinating and extremely fast process that generates eight flagellated gametes from a precursor cell within only fifteen minutes (see examples of forming gametes on the right). Yet, the molecular mechanisms are not well understood, and how the parasite organises the segregation of eight genomes from a single nucleus into individual gametes remains elusive. We have previously identified an unusual protein complex that mediates DNA segregation during male gamete formation. We now want to understand the molecular and cellular processes underlying this phenotype, which might help to develop transmission-blocking drugs in the future.
