Department of Protozoology, Nekken, Nagasaki
We work within the Department of Protozoology at Nagasaki University's Institute of Tropical Medicine (NEKKEN).
An extremely lively and international laboratory, we have the pleasure of working very closely on a range of malaria
related research projects with diverse mix of researchers, some of whom are pictured below…
