#Tgondii WIP gets DCs moving: Jeroen Saeij use #CRISPR libraries to identify #Toxoplasma genes affecting in vivo fitness. They find that TgWIP is secreted into host cells & regulates actin dynamics to enhance transmigration of parasitized dendritic cells cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Now accepting applications for BiologyofParasitism 2020. I took this course back in 2001 as a young postdoc entering parasitology after a cell bio PhD. Since, I sent 3 PhD students and led 3 modules. Now privileged to co-direct together with @BBurleighChagas and @flamcatt. Don't miss out.
Excited to share our new preprint using genome-wide CRISPR screen to find Toxoplasma proteins that are required for parasite growth in IFN gamma-activated macrophages. Great collaboration from @SaeijlabUCDavis and Sebastian Lourido. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happy to share our latest work together with HAKIMI Mohamed-Ali and @SaeijlabUCDavis labs on Toxoplasma dissemination Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr…
