Data Integration & Infrastructure
Half of the lab builds the VEuPathDB ecosystem, creating ontology terms, web services, and automation that help researchers explore parasite, vector, and host datasets.
Signature research themes
From global databases to parasite mitochondria, our work connects discovery science with usable infrastructure.
Gene Regulation in Cryptosporidium
We study coordinated transcription during the first 72 hours of the in vitro life cycle and search for shared regulatory motifs across apicomplexans.
Data Mining for Diagnostic Targets
Emerging genomic and functional data are mined for signatures that can improve diagnostics and point to new intervention strategies.
Mitochondrial Genome of Toxoplasma
The Toxoplasma mitochondrial genome appears in many permutations, with thousands of fragments inserted into the nuclear genome, reshaping our view of organellar evolution.
How we connect the pipeline
From data generation to interpretation, we aim to make parasite biology discoverable and actionable.
Genome Data Generation
We partner with experimental teams to generate genomes, transcriptomes, and functional datasets that anchor downstream analysis.
Regulatory & Evolutionary Biology
Multi-omics integration reveals how parasite gene regulation, genome architecture, and evolutionary history shape pathogenicity.
Community Platforms
Our database development work ensures global researchers can visualize, query, and reuse parasite datasets with confidence.
