Toxoplasma Research in the Dou Lab
Toxoplasma gondii widely infects human population. Approximately, one-third of the human population is infected with Toxoplasma parasites. As an obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma has to invade host cells, replicate, and egress to infect another host cell. My lab focuses on two questions of Toxoplasma infection.
