Aspire to inspire the next generation of scientists
Our Mission:
To provide a safe and collaborative learning environment where students can safely practice modern molecular techniques, develop critical thinking skills by solving real biological quandaries, and make discoveries that provide a better insight into the biology of Toxoplasma’s transmissible forms. As such, we leverage the strength in our differences to build and maintain a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning environment in which every lab member, regardless of their racial/ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and other aspects of their personhood, can express their opinions and ideas freely.
Our team
The Guiton lab comprises highly motivated, diverse, and dynamic individuals. We work as a team to uncover some of the mysteries of this fascinating parasite.
