Research: Apicomlpexan parasites, such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Toxoplasma gondii,
are a source of significant disease in humans and livestock. Presently, there is a
large gap in available treatments, especially for treating C. parvum infection in
children. My research is focused on exploring the effects of a naturally derived
compound, mensacarcin, against apicomplexan parasites, specifically
Cryptosporidium parvum and Toxoplasma gondii.
