Composition, assembly and functions of the pellicle of apicomplexan parasites: a structure pivotal to disease transmission and progression. Apicomplexan parasites are successful agents of disease (e.g. malaria) due to their superb ability to quickly invade host cells and generate many more parasites. This project will study the dedicated structures beneath the parasite cell covering that are responsible for these abilities to help refine strategies for combating apicomplexan diseases.

Next Generation Mass Spectrometry for Analysis of Biomolecules. Next-generation mass spectrometry for analysis of biomolecules:
This project seeks to establish a next-generation mass spectrometer that represents the most sensitive, accurate and rapid mass spectrometer allowing the simultaneous quantitation of several hundred to several thousand proteins in a single experiment. This is designed to particularly support infection and immunity research. Novel fragmentation capabilities and enhanced ....Next Generation Mass Spectrometry for Analysis of Biomolecules. Next-generation mass spectrometry for analysis of biomolecules:
This project seeks to establish a next-generation mass spectrometer that represents the most sensitive, accurate and rapid mass spectrometer allowing the simultaneous quantitation of several hundred to several thousand proteins in a single experiment. This is designed to particularly support infection and immunity research. Novel fragmentation capabilities and enhanced workflows on this instrument may allow new types of experiments to be conducted providing significant improvements in coverage and depth of analysis.Read moreRead less
