Dr. Koshy is a Professor in the Department of Neurology and Department of Immunobiology. Dr. Koshy’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that allow a common parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, to persist in the brain of people and rodents. By understanding the mechanisms by which the parasite avoids the brain’s inflammatory response, the Koshy lab hopes to improve treatments for toxoplasmosis as well as open new avenues for treating disorders of the brain in which brain inflammation plays a major role. These disorders range from Multiple Sclerosis to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease to stroke. Her lab website can be found at: http://koshylab.arizona.edu/
