Overview

Christian Doerig is affiliated with RMIT University in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with significant contributions across several subfields including public health, environmental and occupational health, molecular biology, parasitology, computational theory and mathematics, and immunology.

Doerig's work encompasses various topics, notably malaria research and control, research on leishmaniasis studies, computational drug discovery methods, parasites and host interactions, mosquito-borne diseases and control, invertebrate immune response mechanisms, and parasite biology and host interactions.

Recent publications reflect a sustained engagement with malaria and related fields. These include:

  • Inhibition of Resistance-Refractory P. falciparum Kinase PKG Delivers Prophylactic, Blood Stage, and Transmission-Blocking Antiplasmodial Activity (2020, Cell chemical biology)
  • Host-directed therapy, an untapped opportunity for antimalarial intervention (2021, Cell Reports Medicine)
  • Analysis of erythrocyte signalling pathways during Plasmodium falciparum infection identifies targets for host-directed antimalarial intervention (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Human Aurora kinase inhibitor Hesperadin reveals epistatic interaction between Plasmodium falciparum PfArk1 and PfNek1 kinases (2020, Communications Biology)
  • Mammalian cells internalize bacteriophages and use them as a resource to enhance cellular growth and survival (2023, PLoS Biology)

Frequently collaborating co-authors include Jack Adderley, Manuel Llinás, Jean-Philippe Semblat, Oliver Billker, and Megan J. Bird.

Christian Doerig has published many articles in a range of scientific journals, with multiple contributions to the following venues:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Trends in Parasitology
  • Blood
  • eLife
  • Research Square (Research Square)
