David A. Fidock is the CS Hamish Young Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Professor of Medical Sciences at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Manhattan.[1][2][3]

Education

Fidock attended the University of Adelaide and earned a bachelor of mathematical sciences and an honors degree in genetics in 1985. He earned a PhD in microbiology from the Institut Pasteur in Paris in 1994. His dissertation advisor was Pierre Druilhe.[4][5][6]

Research

Fidock's research focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms behind antimalarial drug resistance in the human parasite Plasmodium falciparum, as well as target-based drug discovery and development, and parasite metabolism and biology.[7][8][9] He led the development of methods for genetically modifying malaria parasites and for elucidating the genetic basis of P. falciparum resistance to various first-line medicines including artemisinin, chloroquine and piperaquine.[10][11][12]
