The Contribution of Immune Evasive Mechanisms to Parasite Persistence in Visceral Leishmaniasis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Leishmania is a genus of protozoan parasites that give rise to a range of diseases called Leishmaniasis that affects annually an estimated 1.3 million people from 88 countries.

Context Driven Label Fusion for segmentation of Subcutaneous and Visceral Fat in CT Volumes [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Quantification of adipose tissue (fat) from computed tomography (CT) scans is conducted mostly through manual or semi-automated image segmentation algorithms with limited efficacy. In this work, we propose a completely unsupervised and automatic method to identify adipose tissue, and then separate Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) from Visceral Adipose

Synthetic Biology in Leishmaniasis: Design,simulation and validation of constructed Genetic circuit [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Building circuits and studying their behavior in cells is a major goal of systems and synthetic biology. Synthetic biology enables the precise control of cellular states for systems studies, the discovery of novel parts, control strategies, and interactions for the design of robust synthetic systems. To the best of our knowledge,there are no literature
