Aurobind Vidyarthi

Aurobind Vidyarthi is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology at the Yale School of Medicine. He is affiliated with the Craft Lab and focuses on immunological mechanisms in autoimmunity, infectious diseases, and cancer. His research explores T cell dynamics, macrophage biology, and host-pathogen interactions, with a particular emphasis on tuberculosis and tumor microenvironments.

Education: PhD from CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology & Jawaharlal Nehru University (2016), MSc from Panjab University (2009).

Research Interests:

• Regulation of T cell responses in chronic infections and autoimmunity
• Role of macrophages in cancer progression and immunosuppression
• Host-directed therapies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• Impact of gut microbiota on tuberculosis susceptibility

Publications Highlight Trends in:

• Helminth-induced immune modulation
• T cell exhaustion in chronic infections
