Research

Kinases comprised in rhoptry compartment from apicomplexan parasites are major virulence factors, secreted into the host cell. They contribute to parasitophorous vacuole membrane biogenesis and are involved in hijacking host cell, to ensure parasite development.
ROPK from parasites are highly divergent from host cell kinases and may be valuable candidates for therapy or vaccine production.
We are focusing our studies on ROPK from Eimeria sporozoites, the first invasive stage.
