abroad. The research activities of EMD faculty span the
biology, epidemiology, control and policy implications of a
diverse array of domestic and global infectious diseases,
including HIV, TB, malaria, African trypanosomiasis,
vector-borne and zoonotic diseases, neglected tropical
diseases (NTDs), bacterial infections and emerging public
health threats like COVID-19 and mpox, pandemic influenza and
other respiratory and enteric infections.
The Department
maintains partnerships with programs and institutions open to
all faculty members, including the
Public Health Modeling Unit,
Fogarty
Global Health Equity Scholars Program,
multiple NIH-funded international training programs, the
Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS,
and the CDC-funded
