Area of scientific activity Immunology: study of excretion / secretion trypanosomatids proteins involved in polyclonal activation of the immune system responsible for infectivity of the body. Use of KO parasites, recombinant proteins, cDNA and genes in dendritic cells as models of vaccines. Molecular Biology: C loning and sequencing of genes encoding enzymes involved in drug targets and virulence factors. Study of new drugs with anti-Leishmania. Using nanotechnology to increase the release of drugs and the realization of new vaccine formulations. Diagnosis: C reating new methods of leishmaniasis diagnosis using the tools generated in the laboratory, namelly recombinant proteins. 5. Present research interest Domain of specialization Vaccines, Immunoparasitology, Drug target development. Current research interests Throughout the various ongoing projects, the key objective has been to find the components of the parasite that are responsible for immune response. Molecules involved in parasite virulence factors as well as searching for possible targets of drugs, polyamine derivatives, as well as the identification of molecules of the parasite may be used as a marker of susceptibility or resistance to natural host (man or dog) for leishmaniasis. We have studied various drugs, some promising as already described for the treatment of leishmaniasis. We are also interested in the use of KO parasites, recombinant proteins and dendritic cells as a promising model for vaccines. The use of nanotechnology in a controlled release of drugs or the use of new vaccine formulations is an area of recent interest. Other professional interests/activities Nanotechnology use to drug delivery systems, Nanodiagnosisis developmet, Host parasite interactions 6.
