Dr. Chetan E. Chitnis is a young investigator in the Malaria Group at ICGEB, New Delhi. He has established an independent research group that performs basic research on malaria parasite biology and also has a strong program on malaria vaccine development. A state of the art process development laboratory with clean rooms and other infrastructure for production of recombinant protein-based malaria vaccines has been established at ICGEB, New Delhi under this vaccine development program. In addition, Dr. Chitnis has established collaborative links with clinicians at the Ispat General Hospital, Rourkela, Orissa and Malaria Research Centre Field Station, Rourkela, Orissa to conduct clinical research and field studies on malaria in a P. falciparum malaria endemic region of India. Dr. Chitnis’ group at ICGEB, New Delhi is thus ideally suited to not only conduct basic laboratory-based research on malaria but can also undertake field studies and translational research towards development of new intervention strategies against malaria.
