Within the Controlled Human Infection Center of LUMC/Leiden University, research is being conducted on malaria and vaccines against it, among other things.

For this assignment, I was able to combine my medical knowledge and building skills, and here it is: a model of the malaria sporozoite.

The design includes a selection of removable organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus and a mitochondrion, a double DNA helix, the polar cap, and surface proteins.
