@geofurb@WiParasitology Our work suggests that it's more the immune response driving the changes and not the presence of the parasite. Check out our mbio paper! We can't currently clear the infection, just reduce it.
Pleased to announce that our collaborative study with @StoneDoggett, led by @IUMedSchool MSTP student @jen_martynowicz, is now published in Antimicrobial Agents & Chemotherapy. #AACJournal@ASMicrobiology

@BenjaminUlrich Now you just need to freezer to die so that all the boxes get shuffled in the mad dash to get them to the back up freezer. That way you can never figure out which one it was.
Latest from the lab: "A novel GCN5b lysine acetyltransferase complex associates with distinct transcription factors in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii"
