Abstract

ABSTRACT Thiago Castro-Gomes studied Biochemistry and Immunology at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. He pursued his PhD supervised by Maria Fátima Horta at UFMG, where he worked on leishporin, a cytolytic component in Leishmania parasites. He then moved to the US and joined the lab of Norma Windsor Andrews at the University of Maryland to study the regulation of plasma membrane repair. Thiago set up his own group, the Laboratory of Cell Biology and Intracellular Pathogens, at the Department of Parasitology at UFMG in 2018, where he focusses on lysosome-dependent plasma membrane repair mechanisms and their involvement in host cell invasion.
