Research
Dr. Navis's research focus is on the neurological effects of HIV both locally in New York City and in developing countries. While HIV has become a chronic disease with the advent and widespread use of combined antiretroviral therapy, its effects on the nervous system can still be seen in the form of neurocognitive impairment. She has been involved in longitudinal cohort studies in New York City assessing the long-term cognitive changes in people with HIV, as well as studies looking at chronic pain and opioids in HIV. Dr. Navis has a particular interest in global health and has been involved in studies in Zambia assessing the epidemiology and outcomes of new onset seizures in people with HIV.
Her future focus is on the pathological immune activation that is seen in the era of antiretroviral treatment with HIV known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). When IRIS develops in the central nervous system, it can be particularly debilitating and sometimes deadly. Those greatest at risk of developing IRIS are extremely immunosuppressed when initiating antiretroviral treatment for HIV, and rates of IRIS development are thought to be particularly high in developing countries. Her research will focus on better understanding the epidemiology of IRIS in the central nervous system in developing countries.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Navis did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2022 and/or 2023: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
