The Apicomplexa are a group of intracellular parasites that cause several important diseases. Most Apicomplexa contain an organelle called the apicoplast that is indispensable for their survival and that can only form through the division of pre-existing apicoplasts. This project will examine the molecular mechanisms of how this process occurs.

顶端复合体是一组细胞内寄生虫，可引起几种重要疾病。大多数顶生复合体含有一种叫做顶生质体的细胞器，这种细胞器对于它们的生存是必不可少的，并且只能通过分裂原有的质外体来形成。这个项目将研究这一过程如何发生的分子机制。
