Rubayet Elahi is a highly accomplished postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, specializing in the study of posttranscriptional modifications in protein translation in apicomplexan parasites, with a particular focus on the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
His research involves the use of various molecular, biochemical, cell biology, and microscopy techniques to investigate the roles of different posttranscriptional modifications in protein translation. Notably, his work has contributed to significant findings, such as the inability of clinically relevant atovaquone-resistant human malaria parasites to transmit via mosquitoes, as well as shedding light on the dual function of parasite SufS in iron-sulfur cluster synthesis and tRNA modification in apicoplast metabolism.
