Paula Andrea Castaneda Londono

Bacteriologist from the Catholic University of Manizales, with particular interest in research in areas such as parasitology, molecular and cell biology and assessment of drug susceptibility. My research experience has allowed me to apply molecular techniques (such as RT-PCR, conventional PCR, electrophoresis of nucleic acids and Southern blot on isolated Leishmania parasites) and cellular biology techniques such as cell culture of line U-937 and assessment of drug susceptibility in Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania parasites maintenance transfected drug resistant and sensitive and also ELISA, cryo preservation of fresh field isolates, microscopic diagnosis of malaria (P. vivax and P. falciparum) and active recruitment of patients with Plasmodium falciparum.
