DESCRIPTION:
 Toxoplasma Gondii and Schizophrenia: Examining 
 the Link Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem 
 Cells.\n
 \n
 David Roofeh, MS IV., SUNY Upstate 
 Medical University, Syracuse, NY.\n
 \n
 Schizophrenia 
 is increasingly understood to have its 
 etiology in aberrant neurodevelopment; toxoplasma 
 gondii (T.gondii) is a neurotropic intracellular 
 parasite that has consistently been 
 associated as a risk factor for schizophrenia 
 development. If T. gondi is an environmental 
 insult that triggers schizophrenia onset in 
 a subset of those with prenatal exposure, we 
 may be able to understand the molecular and 
 cellular basis of the disease onset by using 
 neuronal models derived from human induced pluripotent 
 stem cell (hiPSC) technology.\n
