A lab studying infectious disease control together with researchers around the world.
AboutAbout the lab
Tackling infectious disease control with researchers worldwide
The Global Health and Infectious Diseases Lab studies infectious disease control, including pandemic countermeasures, in collaboration with researchers around the world.
In the Philippines, the lab conducts international joint research centered on respiratory infections in children, and in Zambia, centered on respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Holding that infectious disease problems can no longer be solved by medicine alone, the lab works with a broad range of researchers, including those in the humanities and social sciences, to consider what future infectious disease control should look like.
