Characterization of Metabolic Pathways in Trypanosoma Cruzi
Docampo Lab, Paul Coverdell Center, University of Georgia
Athens, United States
Our work is centered in the characterization of metabolic pathways in Trypanosoma cruzi. Our ultimate goal is to discover metabolic pathways in this parasite that may be essential for its survival but may not find an equivalent counterpart in its host. Thus, it would be possible to look for specific inhibitors of such metabolic activities as possible means of controlling...
