Work in the Department of Epidemiology contributes to the School's commitment to improve health across the globe. Our faculty are world leaders in the transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS research across the globe. Our modeling faculty has had impact on the ebola crisis, cost-effective distribution of vaccines and other medicines for resource poor nations.
EMD researchers specialize in many other tropical diseases, including vector-transmitted diseases such as malaria, zika, leptospirosis, leishmaniasis, human African trypanosomiasis.
