Biography
Dr.Chunlei Su has completed his PhD in 1999 from Pennsylvania State University and presently working as Associate Professor at University of Tennessee.
Research Interest
Our laboratory is interested in studying molecular epidemiology, population genetics and evolution of T. gondii. Our goal is to reveal major reservoirs and transmission modes through which the parasite spreads among different hosts, particularly in humans.
