Latha P. Ganesan

Latha P. Ganesan's research focuses on how the immune system clears bacterial toxins and pathogens from the blood, and how infections and inflammation affect organs beyond the site of infection, particularly the heart and kidneys. The work spans topics such as immune cell receptors that remove bacterial products (like LPS) from circulation, immune responses in lupus-related kidney disease, and infection-driven cardiac dysfunction in models of pneumonia and other bacterial infections. Much of this research uses animal models to study aging, infection, and inflammatory disease mechanisms.

Publication output has grown from a low base around 2017-2018 to a sustained higher rate of roughly 4-10 papers per year since 2019, with a peak in 2023 and a slight decline in the most recent years.
