Neglected Tropical Diseases research

Experience

Our main work focuses on Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis, which are neglected tropical diseases caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania parasites. We are developing novel control tools, ranging from vaccines against these parasites, to vector control and community interventions against insect vectors such as Triatoma dimidiata in the Yucatan peninsula.
