Professional Interests

<p><span>Dr. Allan Wolkoff's interest in research was sparked when he worked in a biochemistry lab to help pay college bills. He began his medical studies at Dartmouth Medical College and transferred to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he obtained his M.D. degree. With the exception of a two year period when he was Clinical Associate in Gastroenterology-Hepatology in the Digestive Disease Branch, National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism and Digestive Disease, he has remained at Albert Einstein. His early mentor, Irwin M. Arias, M.D. of the National Institutes of Health said of Wolkoff&rsquo;s work, &ldquo;He built an exemplary global reputation in hepatology research, education, training and scholarship. A major participant in the creation of the Marion Bessin Liver Research Center at Albert Einstein, Dr. Wolkoff has taken advantage of the strong, interactive basic science departments and is a leader in bridging understanding of hepatocyte biology with the pathogenesis of acquired and inheritable liver diseases.&rdquo; </span></p>
<p><span>Dr. Wolkoff is a pioneer in the combining of disciplines that inform basic understanding of hepatocyte function and relation to disease and is recognized worldwide for providing new windows into physiology and pathophysiology.&nbsp;</span><span>He has had articles published in over 100 peer-reviewed publications, given many invited lectures and has had continuous NIH-supported research. In addition, he has served on advisory committees of several NIH-supported liver research centers. In 2006, he was presented the AASLD Distinguished Service Award. In 2012, he received the&nbsp;<span>highly prestigious 2012 Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award from the American Liver Foundation.</span></span></p>

<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>
