OverviewAI-generated summary

Neeva Wernsman Young is a graduate research assistant at John Brown University whose work addresses critical aspects of malaria research and control. Using genetics, bioinformatics, and computational drug discovery methods, she investigates chromosomal and genetic variations in *Plasmodium falciparum*, the parasite responsible for malaria. Her research encompasses mosquito-borne diseases, with a focus on understanding and combating artemisinin resistance. Recent work includes characterizing the prevalence of artemisinin partial resistance mutations in the Great Lakes region of Africa and examining the loss of histidine-rich protein 3 in *P. falciparum* infections in Rwanda. Additionally, she has contributed to the development of highly multiplexed molecular inversion probe panels for genomic assessments of selection and relatedness in *P. falciparum*.
