Taking Out Toxo Grant

At the end of 2019, Taking out Toxo awarded its fourth grant of $25,000 to the Toxoplasmosis Research Institute at the University of Chicago under the leadership of Dr. Rima McLeod (pictured below). TRI is currently working on:
  1. A compound which can eliminate the cyst form of the parasite when active or inactive. So far this compound is showing enormous potential for both toxoplasmosis and malaria.
  2.  Developing an inexpensive blood test for screening for toxoplasmosis in pregnant mothers and work on pregnant women.
  3. Genetic analysis to determine if some people are more susceptible to toxoplasmosis and its effects than others.
Stay tuned for the upcoming annual 2020 Taking Out Toxo Campaign!
