Awesome collaboration with Anna E. Beaudin!! doi.org/10.15252/embj.… Toxoplasma infection during pregnancy alters fetal stem cell development and immune cell output! Many of the effects can be recapitulated by injection of IFNg. With ~100K/yr congenital Toxo, other ramifications??

WHIP 2024 can't wait!

Like many joys in science, promotions develop slowly making it hard to know when to mark the occasion. Happy to share my promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure MIT Biology. Immense gratitude to all the lab members, colleagues, and mentors who have made this possible!

Fantastic experience giving a seminar at FIOCRUZ, which provides public health, education and research for Brazil. Founders Drs. Cruz and Chagas discovered T. cruzi. Pictured is their manual centrifuge to isolate immune sera from horses for human therapy, 30 minute spins anyone?

Representing toxoplasma research well Marcos Roberto won best poster for an undergraduate student Sociedade Brasileira de Protozoolgia! Great job Marcos! What a fun meeting in #Caxambu the science and people were amazing. Thanks for the invite!

Big thanks to Boris Striepen who discovered the GPI sidechain! Boris sent us his PhD protocol pics to troubleshoot our GPI Western blots. Use Methanol, not ethanol to see GIPL! Boris suggested we contact C. West UGA CTEGD who produced awesome structural mass spec data on the GPI!”

Years of hard work but is it now officially online. Thank you to my amazing students and collaborators for this great story! A kalihinol analog disrupts apicoplast function and vesicular trafficking in P. falciparum malaria | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations team ROP55! Great to see this one out.
