Lab team

Our lab consists of students and postdocs who have synergistic interests in different experimental techniques. This provides a highly collaborative environment to deeply understand fundamental aspects of apicomplexan parasite pathogenicity. We also closely work with other labs in the division and several international groups in order to translate our findings in Toxoplasma into understanding pathogenesis in the malaria parasite.
