We are pleased to welcome Prof. Joanne Webster, Professor at the Royal Veterinary College, University of London, United Kingdom, as a featured speaker at the International Virtual Conference on Advances in Toxoplasmosis Research.
Prof. Webster is a renowned parasitologist specializing in host-parasite coevolution and behavioral manipulation, with pioneering work on how Toxoplasma gondii alters host behavior to enhance transmission. Her research spans evolutionary biology, neuroparasitology, and epidemiology, using animal models and human studies to decode parasite-driven changes.
In this talk, Prof. Webster will explore the mechanisms behind Toxoplasma gondii’s “fatal feline attraction” in rats and its links to schizophrenia in humans, uncovering why and how the parasite rewires host brains for survival advantages. Join to learn about the evolutionary and molecular drivers of these profound behavioral shifts.
