Research Focus

<span style="color:#525458;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff;">Dr. Wu&rsquo;s research investigates several questions. His research focus spans from his work in the clinic to the basic sciences. For example, does physical and/or emotional stress significantly exacerbate complex medical dermatoses? In the future, he hopes to examine neutrophil dysfunction at the cellular and molecular level from tissue and blood samples from neutrophil-predominant dermatoses.</span>

<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>
