Ferdinand Njume former postdoctoral scholar in the Jensen lab. He performed his Ph.D. work at the University of Belgium where he researched surface proteins of the filarial nematode, Onchocerca volvulus. His current work involves the surface proteins of T. gondii and search for a suitable parasite...

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.

Neel performed editing Toxoplasma genes and infecting wild-derived mice as he studied host-pathogen interactions. Neel is aiming for a future career in medicine.

Laura Garcia-Lopez has joined the lab as a first year graduate student in our QSB graduate program. She comes from the University of Quindio, Columbia where she obtained her masters degree in Jorge Gomez-Marin's lab researching human immune correlates of occular toxoplasmosis. We are thrilled to...

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 our lab and we love it!

April explored how maternal inflammation and T. gondii infection during pregnancy impacts fetal stem cell development with long term impacts on cellular immune function. April was co-advised by Dr. Anna Beaudin (University of Utah), and is currently in industry.

Undergraduate researcher, Jennifer Eggleston, is looking forward to pursing research in the fields of immunology and microbiology.

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 how changes to the anchor mediate virulence in mice. Jasmine is currently at graduate school at UC...

Graduated from California State University Channel Islands, and then obtained a Ph.D. in my lab. Scott investigated how B cells mediate protective immunity to T. gondii, and determined that B-1 cells are important players in the immune response to the parasites. Drinking coffee in Columbia (above)...

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