Research summary

Stephen Denton studies how the immune system responds to infection by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, focusing on the roles of natural killer (NK) cells, T cells (immune cells that fight infected cells), and nutrient competition between host and parasite (such as iron and transferrin receptors). This work aims to understand how the body controls both the initial infection and the chronic, long-term form of the disease, including differences between sexes in immune response.
