Postdoctoral Associate

Kit came to the Kafsack Lab from the malaria research hotbed of Melbourne, Australia where he first did honors research with Brian Cooke at Monash University followed by a Ph.D. with Stuart Ralph at the University of Melbourne. In his thesis research Kit elegantly elucidated the molecular and cellular defects that underlie the delayed death of malaria parasites upon loss of their apicoplast. He was also a BoP student in 2017. When he’s not in the lab Kit likes to play bike polo or watch movies.
