Research summary
AI-generated

Xiuli Yang's research centers on the microbiology and immunology of tick-borne infections, particularly the Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Work in this area examines how the pathogen evades the host immune system, how its genes are regulated, and how vaccines and protective proteins might be designed to prevent infection. The publication record also includes studies applying immunology and pharmacology methods to other topics such as cancer treatment and drug safety analysis.

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.
