The Institute of Parasitology at McGill University, Quebec, Canada, was founded in 1934 and is the major site for research in molecular parasitology in Canada. Two main research themes are studied: pathogenesis and host defense mechanisms; and the molecular basis of drug resistance and drug target discovery. This article highlights recent research at the Institute in immunology, glycosome biogenesis, biochemistry and genetics of drug resistance, and helminth neurochemistry. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
