Happy Halloween!
Just after SCEP, the lab members who were in town celebrated Halloween by dressing up as characters from Inside Out.
Koshy Lab Attends SCEP 2019
We had a great showing at the Southern California Eukaryotic Pathogen Symposium (SCEP). Josh gave a well-received talk on ROP16 and Toxoplasma encystment. Kathryn gave a great poster suggesting Toxoplasma may not cause a life-long brain infection (just a very slowly cleared one…) Oscar’s poster on the electrophysiology of Toxoplasma-injected neurons was awarded 2nd place.

Shraddha’s paper was published in PLoS Pathogens - this was a serious team effort! Way to go, team!
Way to go, Emily!
Emily Merritt, an IMB PhD-candidate in the lab, was appointed to the Training Program in Infection and Inflammation as Drivers of Aging (IIDA) T32. Well done, Emily!
Summer 2019 Updates
Jin, a former undergraduate in the Koshy lab, was accepted into and will attend Cornell Medical School (Fall 2019). Jin came by to break donuts with us before he left. Congratulations, Jin! Thanks for stopping by to say hello.
The Koshy Lab had a very productive summer with a myriad of summer students. There were some new faces (Tessa Spangler - UBRP, Noah Rios - KEYS) and some returning (AJ Aguilar - UBRP WASEO, Emiliano Flores - SIMI, Ayesha Swannignan). We were so glad to have you all and are thrilled that some of you are returning in the fall.
