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.

Bryan was one of my first undergraduates to join the lab. He is now in industry!

Gabriela, a UC LEADS scholar, and worked to understand the humoral response to the GPI sidechain of T. gondii.

As an undergraduate researcher, Anh probed the function of T. gondii ASP5 in relation to CD8 T cell activation to the parasite.

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!

Jake had an extensive undergraduate research experience at Pepperdine University before joining the QSB program and the Jensen lab. Jake is interested in understanding mechanisms of tolerance following Toxoplasma infection and will be performing large-scale genetic screens to this end!

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...

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.
