The Mugnier lab within the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health seeks a full-time **_Research Technologist_** . Our lab studies Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite that causes human and animal African trypanosomiasis, devastating diseases posing a huge economic and public health burden on sub-Saharan Africa. We use bioinformatics approaches to study the ways this parasite evades the immune system of its mammalian host during infection. Specifically, we seek to understand the mechanisms by which T. brucei diversifies its variant surface glycoprotein gene repertoire during chronic infections.
