Whether developing a new test for malaria, exposing health risks associated with climate change, or highlighting the impact of stigma on LGBTQ+ population well-being, Yale School of Public Health faculty advanced science in a variety of impactful ways over the past year.

In honor of National Cancer Research Month, Dr. Jeffrey Townsend shares why his research is focused on cancer.

In a new study, Yale researchers conclude that Oropouche fever is spread chiefly by biting insects called midges, while mosquitoes are unlikely to play much of a role.

A new study by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health finds that broad genomic profiling, an emerging oncology tool that can help identify targeted therapies for cancer patients, remains widely underused—even among certain cancers for which the test is explicitly recommended.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) terminated roughly 380 grants on Friday, May 2. YSPH Assistant Professor Dr. Colin Carlson shares his concerns about how the funding reductions will impact ongoing research in this Nature article.

Blocking proteins that cause cancer cells to mutate and resist treatment could significantly improve outcomes for some patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer, according to a new Yale study.

Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) took center stage at a Yale symposium on April 5, 2025, when Dean Megan L. Ranney, MD, MPH, led a discussion with four distinguished Yale faculty members on the challenges and opportunities in higher education.

A new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health shows that differences in the entire rotavirus genome – not just its two surface proteins – affect how well rotavirus vaccines work. This may explain why some people still get infected with rotavirus even though they have been vaccinated.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science has elected eight Yale faculty members as part of its latest class of fellows.
