Undergraduate researcher Brandon Justice joins the lab.

Congratulations to postdoctoral researcher Juan Sanchez-Arcila who received a Young Investigator Award (BioLegend) for outstanding oral presentation at the Midwinter Conference of Immunologists (MCI) 2023. This is well deserved, and his work on the Collaborative Cross is super interesting! Pictured...

With Keke Fairfax, I will be co-organizing the WHIP meeting for 2024 and then lead organizer for 2025. I'm super excited and honored to do this. I have been to the WHIP meeting more than any other conference, and for years it has been the best place to support trainees in the field of immuno...

I was invited to give a seminar at UC Irvine, for department of MBB, hosted by Roberto Tinoco. Great time meeting the amazing faculty in the department, exciting research.

Very excited to share our discovery and characterization of the GPI sidechain sytnthetic pathway in T. gondii. This is a first for any parasite. This is the thesis work by graduate student Julia Alvarez, in collaboration with Christopher West at University of Georgia. Parasites that lack a GPI...

Two new undergraudate researchers have joined the lab, Rachel Szymanski and Arlon Wizzard! We are excited to have you research with us as we delve into the immune response to parasites!

We received supplemental funding on our parental R01 to hire Jasmine Posada for a mentored year as a Senior Research Associate-1 (SRA-1)! Jasmine is preparing for graduate school in the fall of 2022, and this funding comes in response to the NIH call to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research...

Congratulations Angel on your 5.5 years in my lab and defending your Ph.D. thesis! You did it! Such great discoveries were made and good luck in your upcoming postdoc at Stanford University in Elizabeth Egan's lab. I'm looking forward to seeing your career develop. Despite COVID the lab had to...

Postdoctoral scholar Ferdinand Fnjume officially joins the lab. He comes to us from the University of Belgium with much experience in the molecular biology of the filarial nematode, Onchocerca volvulus. Looking forward to the years to come.

The bulk of Angel's thesis has been published in PLOS Pathogens titled, "Naive CD8 T cell IFNg responses to a vacuolar antigen are regulated by an inflammasome-independent NLRP3 pathway and Toxoplasma gondii ROP5." It is really a great paper that spans host and parasite requirements for CD8 T cell...
