spaCR: Spatial phenotype analysis of CRISPR-Cas9 screens
Pooled CRISPR-Cas9 screens have emerged as powerful functional genomic tools. However, they typically rely on aggregate-level or transcriptomic outputs, which limits their ability to capture spatially...

Congratulations to Predoctoral Fellow Patrick Rimple for uncovering broad evidence of a nutrient scavenging role for the Toxoplasma ingestion pathway. You can read more about his discoveries here: journals.asm.org/eprint/JHKZF...
Metabolic adaptability and nutrient scavenging in Toxoplasma gondii: insights from ingestion pathway-deficient mutants | mSphere
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects virtually any nucleated cell in most warm-blooded animals. Infections are asymptomatic in most cases, but people with weakened immunity can experience severe disease. For the parasite to ...

Congratulations to Pha Thaprawat for leading this work toward a better understanding of parasite autophagy during Toxoplasma chronic infection. Thanks also to our coauthors and to the NIH for supporting this research. Watch for more to come from this project in 2025! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Toxoplasma gondii PROP1 is critical for autophagy and parasite viability during chronic infection | mSphere
It is estimated that up to a third of the human population is chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii; however, little is known about how this parasite persists long term within its hosts. Autophagy is a self-eating pathway that has recently been ...

A drastic cut in support for NIH-sponsored research comes at a time of record demand for research training in biomedical sciences. This year our PhD program received >230 applications for 5 openings. Fewer trainees, fewer future innovators, fewer health solutions, more disease. We will go backwards.
