The area of interest in Dr. Shi’s lab is host-pathogen interactions, with special interest in the intravascular immune responses to Cryptococcus neoformans and Trypanosoma brucei, as well as their transmigration into the brain across the blood-brain barrier. Both pathogens can survive in the bloodstream and invade the brain, causing brain infections. His lab has developed a mouse model system based on intravital microscopy to study the dynamic interactions of host cells with the pathogens in living hosts. The long-term goal of his lab is to understand how the pathogens evade immune responses and cause infections.
