what group of organisms does the causitive agent of malaria belong to?
plasmodium parasites
while she was still at stanford university, she began working at the interface of genetics and informatics in the new field of functional genomics. after establishing her own lab, she began applying the powerful, high throughput methods that worked well in yeast to organisms that were both more medically-relevant and experimentally-challenging, namely the protozoan plasmodium parasites that cause human malaria. she showed that malaria parasites produce coordinated sets of gene messages as they progress through their complex lifecycle and developed methods for studying parasite genetic variation and genome evolution especially in relationship to the emergence of drug resistance. she is also known for developing phenotypic screening methods as well as contributions to drug development and open source drug discovery. her group has developed screening methods that have led to the discovery of several new antimalarial chemotypes, two of which have been developed into clinical candidates. these include ganaplacide (kaf156) and cipargamin (kae609). in addition, her lab discovered the targets of a variety of antimalarial compounds, including pfatp4, and pf1-phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase. in 2017 she became director of the bill and melinda gates foundation  malaria drug accelerator (malda), an international consortium that seeks to develop better treatments for malaria. she is a member of the governing board of the tres cantos open lab foundation.

although "y. pestis" as the causitive agent of plague is widely accepted, recent scientific and historical investigations have led some researchers to doubt the long-held belief that the black death was an epidemic of bubonic plague.
