Benoit Malleret

Dr Benoit Malleret received his PhD in Immunology at the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in 2007 in Paris, France. During his PhD, he worked on non-human primate models, and studied the innate response of macaques to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) infection. He subsequently moved from Paris to Singapore to take up a post-doctoral research position at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) with Prof Laurent Rénia. The focus of his research projects include physiopathology and cell biology of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Specifically, he studied parasite cell tropism to understand the mechanism of malaria zoonosis and developed different methods to monitor antimalarial drug resistance.

In 2018, Benoit became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and his lab focuses on erythrocytic immunobiology during bacterial infections.
