Dr. Roberta O'Connor is a molecular parasitologist with a particular interest in apicomplexan host-parasite interactions.
The O'Connor lab primarily investigates drug discovery, with a secondary interest in molecular and immune interactions, that allow parasites to infect and persist in their host. The lab works on establishing new methods for culturing parasites that better mimic the host environment.
Dr. O'Connor has taught students at all levels from high school to graduate school and she greatly enjoys mentoring and inspiring students to be great scientists and well-rounded humans.
