Judy Sakanari My research also involves other parasite projects including the development of a schistosome cell line for use in drug discovery and screening studies and characterizing various parasite proteins as potential In addition, for the past 15 years, I have taught a Medical Parasitology course at U.C. Berkeley. This is an intensive 6-week summer session course covering medically important helminthic and protozoan parasites that cause morbidity and mortality worldwide. Students learn about the epidemiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of the infections as well as the ecology and evolution of the host-parasite relationship. |

Louise Goupil
Louise Goupil is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of San Francisco. She received her PhD in Chemistry and Chemical Biology at UCSF with a B.S. in Chemical Biology from UC Berkeley. Her graduate work focused on cysteine proteases in the free-living flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea. This worm is closely related to a number of human parasites including the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. By using S. mediterranea as a surrogate model, she examined the role played by cysteine proteases in free-living and parasitic worms.
