Description of Research: Anurag Malani,
M.D.
Dr. Malani’s research interests include studying
the epidemiology, clinical, and microbiologic characteristics
of fungi, specifically Candida species and opportunistic
mold infections. Current investigations include determining
the rates of oral cavity colonization with C. glabrata
in hospitalized, nursing home-dwelling, and community-dwelling
older adults. Other interests include issues related
to infection control and infections in transplant
patients.
