Sushma Ambekar

Sushma Ambekar is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Iowa State University (USA). Her research is in the field of Plasmodium parasite biology and she is currently focussing on identifying novel components of the nuclear pore complex and elucidating their functions.

Being a MESA correspondent for the first WiM conference is a wonderful opportunity that will allow her to meet fellow researchers and give her a chance to communicate effectively the ongoing research in the field of malaria to the public.
