Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Hayden Roys, a faculty member at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, investigates host-pathogen interactions with a focus on leishmaniasis. Roys's recent work has explored the transcriptional landscape of mice infected with *Leishmania major* using single-cell resolution techniques, revealing cellular heterogeneity and altered transcriptomic profiles within lesions. Further research has examined the role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling in macrophages, demonstrating its impact on macrophage function and inflammatory responses during *Leishmania major* infection. This signaling pathway has also been linked to the promotion of lymphangiogenesis in infected tissues. Roys has also studied the enhanced translational activity in lymphatic endothelial cells during cutaneous leishmaniasis. Collaborations include extensive work with Anne K. Bowlin, Lucy Fry, and Gopinath Venugopal, with whom Roys has co-authored numerous publications.
