Research summary
AI-generated

Toby Maurer studies skin diseases (dermatology) with a strong focus on Kaposi sarcoma, a cancer linked to HIV and a herpesvirus, particularly in patients in East Africa. The work spans diagnosis (including artificial-intelligence tools and molecular tests), treatment, patient survival and quality of life, and care delivery in resource-limited settings. Related projects address conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo in patients with darker skin tones.

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.
