Biography:
Manish Tripathi completed his post-graduation from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (2018), where he carried out his dissertation work in the Molecular Parasitology Laboratory. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D., with research focused on the characterization of parasite ligand–host receptor interactions in Plasmodium infection using a combination of proteomics-based approaches, in-silico techniques, and Plasmodium vivax culture systems. Through these approaches, he has successfully identified host receptors for Plasmodium vivax ligands and has published several research papers on host red cell–parasite interactions and malaria detection using aptamer-based diagnostic kits. In addition, his Ph.D. work extends to drug discovery, where he is actively involved in designing and screening potential drug molecules against P. falciparum and P. vivax. He has also authored two book chapters, reflecting his interest in malaria biology and therapeutic interventions.
