Abstract

Our main objective of this scholarship is to show the student the different activities and techniques related to the projects in progress in the laboratory associated with our thematic project "Regulation of transcription, protein synthesis and secretion of extracellular vesicles in the interaction of trypanosomes with their hosts. Thus, in a period of 6 weeks that corresponds to the time in which the scholar will stay in the laboratory, we intend to develop 3 modules of experiments currently carried out in the laboratory that encompass the objectives of the thematic project.
