Daniel Zamith Miranda is a Research Professor at the Department of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His work focuses on understanding pathogenic fungi interactions with hosts, particularly mechanisms of disease and immune evasion. Central to his research are extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by fungi, which modulate immune responses in distinct ways depending on the fungal species. He collaborates in the Nosanchuk Lab, investigating fungal virulence factors, antifungal resistance, and novel drug targets.
His research spans Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma capsulatum, and emerging pathogens like Candida auris. Key areas include lipid metabolism in fungal pathogens, EV-mediated communication, and the impact of drugs (e.g., methamphetamine) on fungal pathogenesis. His studies employ multi-omics approaches, bioinformatics, and experimental models to dissect fungal biology and host interactions.
Publications highlight discoveries in EV roles in biofilm formation, yeast-to-hypha transitions, and antifungal resistance. Collaborative projects with institutions globally emphasize translational research aimed at combating fungal infections. No formal advisees are listed in the provided data.
