Professor Maritza Jaramillo's lab at the INRS focuses on how the parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted from pregnant women to their babies. Her team has received recently a $700,000 grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to study the underlying molecular mechanisms of this transmission and investigate how the infection affects placenta development and functions.
