Undergraduate researchers

Christina is interested in pursuing a career in research, and is very interested in immunology and CD8 T cell responses!

Neel has been busy editing Toxoplasma genes and infecting wild-derived mice. He is interested in host-pathogen interactions and a future career in medicine.

Safuwra was an undergraduate researcher and a budding young immunologist in the Jensen lab. She is pursuing her Ph.D. at UT Southwestern. She joined the lab in June 2019.

Arlon worked on immune parameters discovered from the collaborative cross that may lead to better understanding of protective vaccines for parasites. Yes, this is the second Wizzard that has graced...

Cienna will be joining the lab in the Fall of 2021 and looking to gain experience in immunology.

Tina served as a technician for a year as she applied to Ph.D. graduate schools. She is currently at UC Davis finishing up her Ph.D.

With ambitions to enter industry, Rachel probed the humoral response to GPI anchored proteins on the parasite.

Felipe was a UC Leads scholar, former undergraduate researcher in my lab and went on to work in my lab for an additional year as a mentored research associate (via an NIH supplemental request to...

Jasmine Possada was a former undergraduate researcher and UC LEADs scholar, who went on to work with us as a mentored Senior Research Associate-1. Jasmine researched the GPI anchor of T. gondii and...

Sahil brings his enthusiasm to research aspects of the GPI anchor of Toxoplasma gondii.

Litzy, a CAMP scholar, worked on the role of T cell help in the antibody response to Toxoplasma gondii.

Brandon was an undergraduate researcher in my lab using CRISPR to edit all sorts of genes.

Alex is interested in all things immunology and B cells.
