Research project funded by NIAID to study intraflagellar transport mechanisms in Leishmania parasites, focusing on protein transport within flagella important for parasite motility and host cell recognition.
Description
This project investigates the structures and mechanisms of intraflagellar transport (IFT) in Leishmania parasites, focusing on the assembly and interactions of IFT complexes. The research aims to understand how proteins are transported within flagella, which are crucial for parasite motility and host cell recognition.
