This researcher studies the biology of single-celled parasites that cause human diseases, including Toxoplasma gondii (which causes toxoplasmosis), Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei (which cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness), and Leishmania. The work focuses on how these parasites use energy and nutrients (their metabolism and bioenergetics) and on the internal structure and dynamics of their cellular compartments such as mitochondria, often with the goal of identifying new drug targets.
Publication activity has been fairly steady over the last decade, averaging around three papers per year, with a slight peak around 2020-2023.
