Toxoplasma gondii

Research Synopsis

 

We study the regulation of gene expression at epigenetic, transcriptional, and translational levels in protozoan parasites like Toxoplasma. The study of these processes in an early-branching eukaryote sheds light on cellular evolution and reveals novel drug targets that can be used to fight this currently incurable infection.
