<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Toxoplasma gondii</span></em>, microsporidiosis, stage differentiation, polar tube structure and function</p>
<p><strong>Toxoplasmosis:</strong> <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em> is a ubiquitous Apicomplexan protozoan parasite that infects humans, mammals and birds.&nbsp; Despite recent progress in understanding the biology of the rapidly replicating form (tachyzoite), very little is known about the cyst form (bradyzoite). The bradyzoite stage plays a critical role in maintenance of latent infection, the relapse of infections and the development of chronic neurologcial disease.&nbsp; Our research is focused on the identification of cyst wall&nbsp; (bradyzoite) proteins and how they function.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Microsporidiosis:</strong> The phylum Microspora consists of organisms collectively known as microsporidia, that are "emerging" human and veterinary pathogens.&nbsp; A microsporidian-specific organelle, the polar tube, is involved in invasion. While the description of the polar tube as a unique microsporidian structure occurred over 100 years ago, the biochemical components of this structure and the mechanism of its formation during invasion remain to be definitively determined.&nbsp; The laboratory is focused on projects invovling the: (1) characterization of the structure and composition of the polar tube and spore wall, and (2) the identificiation of therapeutic targets for the treatment of microsporidiosis.&nbsp;</p>

Weiss, MD, MPH, is Vice Chair, Academic Affairs and Research, Pathology, Co-Director, Einstein Global Health Center and Professor, Pathology and Medicine (Infectious Diseases) at Montefiore Einstein. His clinical expertise is in the treatment and diagnosis of infectious diseases, with a focus on parasitology and global health.</p><p>After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in biology and chemistry from Lehigh University in 1978, Dr. Weiss earned his Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in 1982. Following this, Dr. Weiss completed his internship and residency in medicine at the University of Chicago in 1985 and an infectious diseases fellowship at Einstein Montefiore in 1989.</p><p>Dr. Weiss investigates the biology of <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em> and its ability to cause latent infections, with a focus on the composition and structure of the <em>T. gondii</em> tissue cyst. He also investigates the biology of infection due to the microsporidia, with a focus on the composition of the polar tube and how it functions during microsporidian invasion of a host cell. His research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, articles, books and chapters, and he has presented this research both nationally and internationally. Dr. Weiss has been a reviewer for scientific journals including <em>mBIO</em>, the <em>Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology</em>, the <em>American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, PLOS Pathogens</em>, the <em>Journal of Infectious Diseases</em> and <em>Experimental Parasitology</em>, and is an editor for <em>mBIO</em> and <em>Microbes and Infection</em>.</p><p>Dr. Weiss is board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases. He is a Fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Microbiology of the American Society of Microbiology. In 2000, Dr. Weiss was inducted into the Leo M. Davidoff Society for his outstanding teaching of medical students.</p>
