Molecular Cell biology of Leishmania

We study gene function in Leishmania to dissect and understand the cellular mechanisms that enable these unicellular parasites to pass through their life cycle and cause disease in humans and animals.

We are based at the Institute of Cell Biology at the Univerisity of Bern.
