We focus on the study and treatment of diseases from some of the world’s deadliest pathogens.
Our investigators will initially focus on malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and Ebola, which together kill 2 million people, about half of whom are children, every year.
Using a team science approach, the COBRE will bring together experts from different fields—ranging from molecular biology to population studies—with the aim of speeding up the process of moving research from the lab bench to the bedside.
A unique feature of the COBRE is our Immersion program which supports our research investigator’s travel to relevant field sites to better understand the context and environment in which these diseases occur. Learn more about our research on our Research Projects, Pilots Project, and Immersion program pages.
