Speaker Information

The cell division cycle of Toxoplasma gondii is unconventional, which we are dissecting in multiple dimensions. At the cell division level, division progresses through an internal budding process driven by assembly of the unique cortical membrane skeleton. Furthermore, budding starts and proceeds while mitosis is ongoing. Waves of sequential gene expression tightly orchestrate gene communities catering to these unusual structures and series of events.
