Field of research
- Our research group is interested in different issues related to the biochemistry of protozoan, with focus on that of interest for human health. Among them, we stress our interest on trypanosomatids, which includes two genus with species that are pathogenic to man: Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The biochemical peculiarities of this group are a reason for our interest, mainly in the area of bioenergetics and metabolism. Our group has been studying the role of the metabolism of amino acids in trypanosomatids, intending to unveil critical pathways for energy obtainment and managing environmental challenges affecting these cells during their complex life cycle. The inhibition of some of these metabolic pathways studied by our group, led to the definition of possible therapeutic targets against pathogenic trypanosomes. Ariel M Silber
