From molecular speciation of mosquitoes by PCR, to multiplexed malaria amplicon sequencing to inform public health policy, we love how our “lab in a suitcase” equipped with #BentoLab and ONT #MinION enables us to bring our science to the field, to the communities at greatest risk for malaria.

William Young, a Reagan-appointed judge who made headlines this week, is profiled in the NYT.

With Trump's "maximalist approach to power, Young often enters as a veteran, forecasting possible legal minefields and urging the lawyers involved to come prepared."

Come join our friendly team! Super cool parasites, an exciting project, the world’s best snacks…what’s not to love? Oh, and the people are pretty great too! 🥰

I was so privileged to train in the United States, funded by NIH, and supported by world class universities and scientists

It breaks my heart to see wanton destruction of science, higher education and all things good in the country

EMD Student Spotlight series: BS/MPH Student Alyssa Agarwal This series spotlights the amazing students in the YSPH Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases (EMD) program. This month focuses on students who are conducting

Alyssa works at a field site in Kédougou in Senegal in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur de Dakar, learning how to control malaria in the region.

This month our theme is malaria in honour of World Malaria Day - our friends at YSPH (of which EMD is a part) has highlighted some of the amazing work across the school, including in EMD

From breakfast to a lively reception, we packed the day with insightful presentations, lightning talks, and deep-dive poster sessions. Kudos to everyone who participated and made it unforgettable!
