Dr Catarina Gadelha

We investigate the structure and function of cell surface membranes in human pathogens, and how these relate to mechanism of disease, evolution and development of treatment. Through studies of cell surface composition and architecture of African trypanosomes, both at the level of molecular targets and of cellular organisation, our work is making significant contributions to membrane biology that is critical for parasitism and to possible exploitation for therapeutic gain.
