We are pleased to welcome Dr. Elena Jiménez-Ruiz, Principal Investigator and Chair for Experimental Parasitology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, as a featured speaker at the International Virtual Conference on Advances in Toxoplasmosis Research.
Dr. Jimenez Ruiz is a leading expert in apicomplexan cell biology, with research focused on the molecular mechanisms that govern parasite motility, invasion, and intracellular survival. Her laboratory combines advanced imaging, molecular genetics, and biochemical approaches to dissect how cytoskeletal dynamics and regulatory complexes control parasite movement and host cell entry.
In this talk, Dr. Jimenez Ruiz will present new findings revealing how a dual apical methyltransferase module triggers actin-driven motility in apicomplexan parasites. Join the meeting to learn how this regulatory mechanism shapes parasite virulence and highlights novel targets for therapeutic intervention.
