Dr. Parisa Kalantari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on Immunology, particularly the host-pathogen interactions and immunopathology related to schistosomiasis and malaria. With a background that includes a PhD in Pathobiology from Pennsylvania State University and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. Kalantari's work involves investigating the mechanisms by which schistosomiasis persists in infected hosts and the immune responses it evokes. She has contributed significantly to understanding how immunological signaling, particularly through STING pathways and autophagy, influences disease outcomes in schistosomiasis. Her research aims to identify new therapeutic targets to mitigate severe immunological responses observed in some patients. Dr. Kalantari has published numerous papers in respected journals including Frontiers in Immunology and Cell Reports, underscoring her expertise and contributions to the field of infectious diseases. She actively collaborates with centers focused on infectious disease dynamics and molecular immunology, further enriching her research through interdisciplinary approaches.
