Following very generous funding through an ERC starting grant during the last several years, we are very excited to have been awarded an ERC-CoG. With the new funding we will investigate the mechanisms controlling the levels of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in pathogen populations. As a model, we will study the mechanisms that ensure the periodic antigen switching in African trypanosomes. Specifically, we aim to add temporal components to our single-cell analyses that will allow us to link molecular events over time. The research will build on single-cell expertise gained as part of our ITN Cell2Cell.
