If you always wanted to know how the apical annuli dock at the plasma membrane, look at our latest posted work!
bioRxiv Microbiology@biorxiv-microbiol.bsky.social · 12mo agoToxoplasma gondii AAP7 is essential for functionally connecting the IMC embedded apical annuli to the plasma membrane https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.680297v1
The #EMBOWorkshop : Host–parasite relationship has come to a close! Thank you to all speakers, participants, and organizers for four inspiring days of science, discussion, and human connection. Until next time! 🧫✨
[We are Hiring!] The Weiss Lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (NY) is hiring a Postdoc Scientist to explore the Toxoplasma gondii cyst wall using XL-MS, Split TurboID, & U-ExM. This project aims to unlock new strategies for treating toxoplasmosis. DM for more info!
Hot off the press! Thanks to @gissotlab.bsky.social for the opportunity and my good friend and coauthor @mudiyamv.bsky.social for the wonderful collaboration! ✨

Thrilled to see my PhD research immortalized in @PLOSPathogens.Countless hours, challenges, led to this work on ApiAP2 transcription factors and daughter cell assembly in T. gondii. Immense gratitude to my PI @gissotlab.bsky.social , my friend @mudiyamv.bsky.social , and our amazing team! ❤️🙏
Mathieu Gissot@gissotlab.bsky.social · 2y agoThe best way to start 2025: our latest work is out in #PLOSPathogens. It discusses ApiAP2 transcription factors and daughter cell assembly in T. gondii. A work spearheaded by @be-maanasa.bsky.social with the contribution of @mudiyamv.bsky.social dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
Thank you @gissotlab.bsky.social for being a wonderful PI. What an amazing and a wild ride it has been ! #PhDone
