Department of Protozoology, Nekken, Nagasaki
We work within the Department of Protozoology under the guidance of Professor Osamu Kaneko. 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…
