Diego Luiz Costa - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Diego Luiz Costa is associated with the Immunobiology Section, Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, USA. His work is primarily focused on infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis and its interaction with the host immune system.

Research Contributions

Diego Luiz Costa has made significant contributions in the field of infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on tuberculosis. His research explores host-directed therapies and the modulation of immune responses to improve treatment outcomes. Costa's work includes studies on the enhancement of CD4+ T cell function, heme oxygenase-1's role in immune response modulation, and ferroptosis in the context of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Additionally, his research extends to the interaction of Toxoplasma gondii with Toll-like receptors, which has implications for understanding innate immune priming.
