Welcome to TEACH lab.
Our research program focuses on characterizing ecological processes of arthropod-borne disease transmission
and the ways they are influenced by human activities. It is critical that we understand how environmental and social changes
impact the interaction between hosts, vectors, and microbes in order to better manage social and ecological drivers of arthropod-borne diseases. We combine field studies and laboratory research with mathematical models and bioinformatic tools
to formulate frameworks that link environmental and social changes to host-vector contact as well as vector’s microbial and viral communities affecting disease transmission. |
Community HealthEnvironmental degradation and climate change intensify mosquito-borne disease transmission, which disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. By addressing important social and environmental drivers of mosquito-borne disease transmission and incorporating community-based research, our lab’s goal is to develop and implement mosquito-borne disease control programs that are relevant to and inclusive of local communities to enhance community health. We believe that robust and respectful collaboration between scientists, public health workers, trainees, and local communities leads to the most sustainable and impactful public health programs.

DIVERSITY + INCLUSION
We welcome people of all genders, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, affiliations, and all other aspects of personhood. Diversity is our strength. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everybody feels that they can kick back, relax, and do sciences.
