Trypanosome Research Group
Trypanosome Research
Based in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, we research aspects of the genetics, taxonomy and evolution of the African tsetse-transmitted trypanosomes using a combination of techniques from parasitology, molecular and cell biology.
At present we receive funding from BBSRC to investigate sexual reproduction in the livestock pathogen Trypanosoma congolense.
