Expertise

My research focuses on the cell signaling events that drive the propagation of the parasiteToxoplasma gondii.

Our lab is interested in the signaling pathways that regulate various aspects of this lytic cycle. Given that events such as invasion and egress are essential for parasite survival and that Toxoplasma uses some unique signaling molecules our studies aim at discovering novel targets for the development of much needed anti-parasitic drugs.
