Her lab at the Institut Pasteur de Montevideo focuses on parasites of medical and veterinary importance, collectively known as apicomplexans<\/em>. These include pathogens that cause diseases in humans, such as toxoplasmosis and malaria, and in livestock, such as neosporosis and cryptosporidiosis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The team\u2019s research aims to understand the mechanisms these parasites use to multiply, with the goal of identifying new drugs to block this process and prevent the diseases they cause.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The award is presented annually by the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences, which selects the winner from a list of nominees put forward by each member country.
