RESEARCH University of Georgia

Project 1: Developing recombinant protein-based, synthetic peptide-based, mouse cell line based, high throughput methods for identification of subdominant Class I MHC restricted epitopes during infection with the protozoan pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi in the goal of eliciting optimized CD8+ T cell response in mice vaccinated with live attenuated T. cruzi strains

Project 2: Constructing a live attenuated T. cruzi vaccine strain overexpressing calreticulin and Characterizing the immune responses and protection efficiency of the vaccine candidate against T. cruzi challenge in miceUniversity of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA.

Project 3: Identifying the interaction between Trypanosoma cruzi PAMP molecule, calreticulin and the receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 on phagocytes and investigating the impact of this interaction on immune responses and pathogen control during infection

Project 4: Identifying and characterizing the role of a previously uncharacterized, trypanosomatid-specific, flagellar membrane protein during T. cruzi infection in vitro and in vivo
