RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Dominique Soldati-Favre is investigating the mechanisms enabling obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasites to establish infection. Her research aims at dissecting (1) how actomyosin-based events contribute to parasite gliding and organelle biogenesis and (2) how through reversibility, protein palmitoylation controls membrane association, sorting, and functional activities of motor complexes.
