The fight against malaria holds a special place in Dr Ye Weijian's heart. The researcher from SMART Infectious Diseases (ID) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) shares more about this research “Microvesicles from Malaria-infected Red Blood Cells Activate Natural Killer Cells via MDA5 Pathway” in this Q&A in National Research Foundation Singapore's eZine dubbed 'RIE News' (Jan 2019 issue).
