Research summary
AI-generated

Thiago A. Pereira studies infectious and liver diseases, with a strong focus on schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection caused by Schistosoma worms that damages the liver. The work spans how the parasite interacts with its host and causes tissue scarring (fibrosis), how climate and land-use change affect disease transmission, and the biology of liver and other cancers, including the Hedgehog cell-signaling pathway. Studies combine laboratory disease models, patient-based clinical research, and environmental modeling of disease risk.

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.
