Malaria vaccine research was actually my dissertation topic, so I know the real fight is against a shape-shifter. Single-celled parasites are masters of antigenic variation—they change their "coat" faster than we can target it. My days in the Hyderabad lab were spent watching *Plasmodium* outsmart our best monoclonal antibodies. We're not making excuses; we're fighting a billion years of evolution in a petri dish.
