Samuel Blankson

Samuel Blankson is a 2nd year PhD student in Cell Biology at Université Paris Cité, France and affiliated with the West African Centre for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens (WACCBIP), University of Ghana. He is currently working on Pathogenesis of Cerebral malaria with a focus on identifying the differential expression and potential role of miRNAs contained in microvesicles originating from Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.

I am excited to be a MESA correspondent for this year’s Keystone symposia on malaria that will not only provide me with an opportunity to enhance my knowledge of current scientific discoveries but will also give me a chance to communicate it effectively to others.
