Lab Alumni:
Elizabeth was a research technician in our lab from June, 2024-August, 2024. She studied how
T. gondii
alters chemokine production in host cells and identified the
T. gondii
effector that specifically induces production of the chemokine CCL22 from human and mouse placental cells.
Stephanie was a PhD student in
Carolyn Coyne's
lab in the department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. We collaborated with her on
Toxoplasma
/Placenta interactions.
Sarah was an undergraduate in the lab and worked with Elizabeth English on the role of MAF1 and
Toxoplasma
pathogenesis. She left our lab to pursue her graduate studies at Cornell!
Rachel finished her PhD studies in our lab in 2024 when she studied differences in the host response to closely-related parasites like
Toxoplasma gondii
and
Neospora caninum
. She is now a Postdoctoral Fellow in Ellen Robey's Lab at Berkeley.

Matt was a graduate student in the MCDB PhD program and graduated in March, 2024. He worked on understanding
T. gondii
manipulates host mitochondria and identified multiple host mitochondria associated proteins that were required for this process.
Sheen got her PhD at the University of Queensland in Chemical and Biological Sciences. She was in the lab as a postdoc from January, 2024-December 2024 and studied differences in the host response between
Toxoplasma gondii
and
Hammondia hammondi
.
Nicolas was a visiting research scholar from Bogata, Colombia. He worked with Rachel on
Neospora/Toxoplasma
comparisons and gene duplications.
