If you always wanted to know how the apical annuli dock at the plasma membrane, look at our latest posted work!
Toxoplasma gondii AAP7 is essential for functionally connecting the IMC embedded apical annuli to the plasma membrane https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.680297v1

[We are Hiring!]
The Weiss Lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (NY) is hiring a Postdoc Scientist to explore the Toxoplasma gondii cyst wall using XL-MS, Split TurboID, & U-ExM.
This project aims to unlock new strategies for treating toxoplasmosis.
