DESCRIPTION:Special seminar by Louis-Philippe Leroux\, PhD\, Institut natio
 nal de la recherche scientifique - Institut Armand-Frappier (INRS-IAF)\, Q
 uébec\, Canada. Everyone is invited to attend.\n\nDespite their evolutiona
 ry differences\, protozoan and metazoan parasites share a common goal: to 
 persist in their hosts. As such\, these pathogens have devised ways to sub
 vert host immune responses. The apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii and the hel
 minth Trichuris suis have proven to be useful models to study these biolog
 ical processes. Our work with these organisms has demonstrated that the mo
 dulation of innate immune responses involves complex transcriptional\, tra
 nslational\, and posttranslational networks in part influenced by parasite
 -derived virulence factors. Our studies have unraveled regulatory mechanis
 ms that could help identify common pathways dysregulated during both infec
 tions and other diseased states such as autoimmune disorders\, and pave th
 e way to novel therapies.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nLouis-Philippe Leroux ob
 tained his doctoral degree at the Institute of Parasitology under the supe
 rvision of Dr. Florence Dzierszinski. His thesis focused on the dysregulat
 ion of MHC-II antigen presentation by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma go
 ndii. He undertook his first postdoctoral training in Dr. Armando Jardim's
  laboratory. Leroux's work focused on the excreted-secreted molecules from
  Trichuris suis. He then joined Dr. Maritza Jaramillo's laboratory at the 
 INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier to study the role of translational control i
 n the host immune response during parasitic infections.\n
