It was a wonderful summer with excellent students so we celebrated at a local coffee house. While the summer seemed to come and go quickly, there was a lot of hard work and great science being accomplished. Everyone enjoyed a bit of down time to have coffee or tea and some excellent scones and coffee cake. Good luck to everyone wherever the future may take you!

After weeks of ordering shiny new equipment, the Koshly Lab has begun growing cells in culture. This huge step puts them closer to working with their area of interest, the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Once these cells are steadily growing, the Koshy Lab will be able to grow parasites and study the parasite’s interactions at a cellular level.
