  • Meeting ( 1300 to 1400)
  1. The Detection System
  • Fimbriae : Engineering a module within a nonpathogenic organism that allows for attachment to the target pathogen and subsequent triggering of responses.

Comments

  1. Get insight into physical structural basis of fimbriae ( contact Profs. Steve Mathews and Gad Frankel and The Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Molecules)
  2. One of the main concerns with this idea is that attachment to the host is one of the first responses in a host-parasite relationship which confers pathogenecity to the host leads to ethical concerns
  3. Look into excretion of potentially detectable molecules through the body surface of worms - look into other human worm parasites in addition to hook worms and shistosoma
