John Laboratory
The John Lab aims to discover new therapies and diagnostics for pediatric infections. Funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Burroughs Welcome Fund, our collaborative and interdisciplinary studies combine genetic, biochemical, and metabolic profiling techniques. We seek to advance our understanding of the fundamental biology and regulation of metabolism in human pathogens, such as malaria parasites, and translate these findings into improved clinical outcomes for children with infection.
The John Lab's diverse interests are at the intersection of microbiology, biochemistry, and medicine - wherever the science takes us! Ours is a fun, productive, and inclusive lab with an emphasis on mentorship. If you're interested in learning more, please contact Dr. John at johna3 [at] chop.edu (johna3[at]chop[dot]edu).
