Our Projects:

Unravelling the pathogenicity of Entamoeba histolytica

• Identification and characterization of new virulence factors
• Deciphering the invasion process
• Function of E. histolytica-derived extracellular vesicles

Deciphering the complex interaction of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes with the human host

• Analysis of the binding properties between PfEMP1 proteins and endothelial cell receptors
• Influence of cytoadhesion of P. falciparum infected erythrocytes on endothelial cells
• Influence of extracellular vesicles secreted by P. falciparum infected erythrocytes on endothelial cells
