Myo Naung is a postdoctoral scientist working in the Barry group at both the Burnet Institute and Deakin University. His current project focuses on investigating the antigenic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum vaccine candidates by analysing large population cohorts. His research aims to enhance the development of next-generation malaria vaccines and deepen our understanding of host-parasite interactions. Additionally, he has expertise in metagenomics, serology, and human genetics.Related Publications
