<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Toxoplasma gondii</span></em>, microsporidiosis, stage differentiation, polar tube structure and function</p>
<p><strong>Toxoplasmosis:</strong> <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em> is a ubiquitous Apicomplexan protozoan parasite that infects humans, mammals and birds.&nbsp; Despite recent progress in understanding the biology of the rapidly replicating form (tachyzoite), very little is known about the cyst form (bradyzoite). The bradyzoite stage plays a critical role in maintenance of latent infection, the relapse of infections and the development of chronic neurologcial disease.&nbsp; Our research is focused on the identification of cyst wall&nbsp; (bradyzoite) proteins and how they function.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Microsporidiosis:</strong> The phylum Microspora consists of organisms collectively known as microsporidia, that are "emerging" human and veterinary pathogens.&nbsp; A microsporidian-specific organelle, the polar tube, is involved in invasion. While the description of the polar tube as a unique microsporidian structure occurred over 100 years ago, the biochemical components of this structure and the mechanism of its formation during invasion remain to be definitively determined.&nbsp; The laboratory is focused on projects invovling the: (1) characterization of the structure and composition of the polar tube and spore wall, and (2) the identificiation of therapeutic targets for the treatment of microsporidiosis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>My research focuses on metabolic complications of HIV infection associated with aging, particularly among women. My current NIH K23 funded research investigates underlying mechanisms of bone loss and the relationship between disorders of bone and fat metabolism in HIV infection, in an effort to explain the high prevalence of premature bone disease in HIV-infected women in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), the largest and longest-running cohort study of HIV infection in women in the United States. I joined the Einstein faculty in 2013 to build on existing collaborations with expert HIV researchers, and more importantly, to develop new collaborations with scientific experts investigating aging, and conditions associated with aging that are prevalent in HIV-infected populations. I recently found that HIV-infected women had greater fracture incidence than uninfected women in WIHS, prompting an investigation into the prevalence and risks for falls in the WIHS. We found that 18% of HIV+ women reported at least one fall within 6 months, and that factors affecting cognition (such as subjective cognitive complaints and CNS active medications) were associated with greater falls risk. Among HIV-infected women age 50 or older, 1/3 reported having a fall annually, similar to the falls incidence in persons age &gt;65 years in the general U.S. population. Additionally, I am conducting research on&nbsp; visceral adiposity and age-related metabolic disorders among HIV-infected women, in&nbsp; a project that utilizes two novel imaging techniques to quantify visceral adiposity and skeletal microarchitecture in aging HIV-infected and uninfected women, to assess the relationships between visceral adiposity and metabolic disorders associated with aging (osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and subclinical atherosclerosis) in HIV-infected women. Prior to joining Einstein faculty, I was awarded a grant to study factors associated with bone loss among women and men with and at-risk for HIV infection, from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars Program, as well as an AIDS-Science Track Award for Research Transition (R03) by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, to study the role of insulin-like growth factor in the development of reduced bone mineral density in two large cohorts of drug using men and women with and at-risk for HIV infection. Additional areas of research interest includethe effects of regional adiposity and obesity on health in HIV-infected populations.</p>

His original research was in the structural biology of signal transduction proteins in the laboratory of Dr. Steven Almo. After completing a residency in Internal Medicine at New York Hospital, he completed a fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Columbia Presbyterian, followed by an additional year at Tufts Medical Center focusing on infections in transplant recipients.</p>
<p>Dr. Puius's first position was at Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island in 2007. There he served as Medical Director of Infection Control and Assistant Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency, while holding the rank of Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Medicine. In Rhode Island he further developed interest and expertise in tickborne diseases. In addition, he directed infectious diseases protocols and education for the sole Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in the state of Rhode Island.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since joining Einstein-Montefiore in 2011, Dr. Puius has worked closely with transplant teams providing inpatient and outpatient consultations, working on protocols for various selection committees, and developing an online transplant infections curriculum. He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 2018.&nbsp; He has also served as Associate Program Director for the Fellowship in Infectious Diseases. He remains clinically active in the evaluation and treatment of tickborne diseases.</p>
<p>Dr. Puius is a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Society for Transplantation, the Transplantation Society, and the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. He is on the editorial boards of <em>Clinical Transplantation</em> and <em>Transplant Infectious Diseases</em>, and a reviewer for several other journals.</p>
<p>He publishes and speaks regionally on infections in the immunocompromised host and Lyme disease.&nbsp; He also chairs the working group to maintain the online Transplant Infectious Diseases library for the American Society of Transplantation (AST) ID Community of Practice, at http://transplantid.net/.&nbsp; In addition, he initatied a working group for AST to create standardized patient materials for safe living after transplantation.&nbsp; In 2024 he was selected as a Fellow of the American Society of Transplantation.</p>
<p>Clinical Interests:</p>
<p>- Infections in the immunocompromised host, including recipients of kidney, liver, heart, and stem cell transplants</p>
<p>- Infections in patients with hematological malignancies</p>
<p>- Infections in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices</p>
<p>- Lyme disease</p>

His clinical focus centers on treating infections in the immunocompromised host, including recipients of solid organ transplants, patients with hematologic malignancies and recipients of cellular therapy.</p><p>After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in physics from Cornell University in 1992, Dr. Puius earned his Doctor of Philosophy in biochemistry at Einstein in 1999, followed by his Doctor of Medicine in 2001. He moved to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell to complete his internal medicine residency in 2003 and an infectious diseases fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia in 2006. Following this, Dr. Puius completed an additional year focusing on infectious in the immunocompromised host at Tufts Medical Center in 2007.</p><p>Building on his clinical focus, Dr. Puius&rsquo;s research involves infections in left ventricular assist device recipients, heart transplant recipients and kidney transplant recipients. In addition, he is the architect of the online transplant infectious disease library, &ldquo;transplantid.net&rdquo; for the American Society of Transplantation. He is also involved in research on COVID-19-associated Mucormycosis. Dr. Puius&rsquo;s work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, books, chapters and review articles, and he has presented abstracts and poster presentations nationally. He has been a reviewer for a number of journals and is on the editorial boards of <em>Clinical Transplantation</em> and <em>Transplant Infectious Diseases</em>.</p><p>Dr. Puius is board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases. He is a member of many professional organizations, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Society of Transplantation and the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. He is also the Founding Chair of the Transplant Infectious Diseases Online Library Working Group for the American Society of Transplantation. In 2021, Dr. Puius was named Heart Failure &amp; Transplant Consultant of the Year at Montefiore. He has also been named in Castle Connolly&rsquo;s &ldquo;Top Doctors&rdquo; for multiple years.</p>
