Elizabeth Lamark Ashley Tucker will travel to Nigeria at the end of the summer on a Fulbright Research award to help improve rapid diagnostic testing for malaria.
Ashley Tucker, a graduating senior majoring in biomedical sciences and biology in RIT’s College of Health Sciences and Technology and College of Science, will travel to Nigeria at the end of the summer on a Fulbright Research award. Tucker will work with a malaria research group at University of Ibadan College of Medicine. Her research will help improve the rapid diagnostic testing for the deadly tropical disease.
The mosquito-borne parasite that causes malaria can carry a mutation that leads to false negative tests. Tucker will analyze samples collected from people across Nigeria for mutations and compare her findings to the rapid diagnostic test results. Her research will create a regional picture of where the mutations are prevalent in the country and potentially lead to new diagnostic methods.
