Read the outline of our research areas, divided into sections. Section I How do trypanosomes 'listen' to each other to enable their developmental progression to stumpy forms in the bloodstream? Link to Section I Section II How do trypanosomes know when to differentiate to the tsetse fly form: what molecules regulate the initiation of differentiation? What prepares the trypanosome for uptake, survival and differentiation in the tsetse fly? Link to Section II Section III What governs the changes in the parasite during differentiation: which genes are regulated and how are they controlled? Link to Section III Section IV Once differentiation is complete, how is the differentiated state maintained? Link to Section IV This article was published on 2024-07-08
