Research summary
AI-generated

Qigui Yu conducts research in immunology and microbiology, studying how the immune system responds to infections and inflammatory conditions. Recent work spans HIV infection and immune cell depletion, bacterial molecular patterns that trigger antiviral immune responses (such as those from the Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi), and inflammation in diseases like alcoholic hepatitis, sickle cell disease, and traumatic brain injury. The publication record also includes some collaborative papers in unrelated technical fields.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
