🎉 Congrats to EMD’s Shannon Dhindsa (MPH ’25), winner of the Wilbur G. Downs Prize in International Health at YSPH! . Her thesis—based on fieldwork in Tanzania—evaluated a saliva-based glucose test that could transform diabetes care in low-resource settings in the US & abroad.🧪

👏👏👏 Congrats to EMD’s Alyssa Agarwal (BA ’24, MPH ’25), winner of the @YaleSPH Dean’s Prize for Outstanding MPH Thesis!

Her research explored how Plasmodium falciparum invades red blood cells—and how future malaria vaccines can stop it. 🧬🦟. She did much of the work in a remote lab in Kédougou, Senegal, using genomics, structural biology, mathematical modeling, and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing.

Prof. Amy Bei called her one of the most exceptional students she’s ever mentored!🌟. 📖More: @TheBeiLab #publichealth #malaria.

PhD student Torre Lavelle is dedicated to improving estimates of the global health burden of climate change, which is vital for advancing public understanding and policy development. Read more about her work here 👇.

Welcome back to school, EMD and YSPH students! We're excited to kick off a new semester tackling infectious disease challenges! 😊. Here's a glimpse of how our EMD students are gearing up for another semester of impactful learning. 🎓

MPH student Jiayi Du applies statistical tools to explore how climate impacts the epidemic trends of Japanese encephalitis. Her research aims to develop predictive models that guide public health interventions. Read more about her research here 👇.

In this "Three Questions" series from the Yale School of Public Health, Yale EMD Asst Prof Colin J. Carlson shares his insights into the influenza A/H5N1 virus becoming a public health threat to humans in 2025. @YaleSPH #PublicHealth #BIRDFLU .

MPH student Alyssa Chetrick explores the global burden of leptospirosis and advances rapid diagnostic tools to address critical data gaps. Read more about her research here 👇.

New faculty member Colin Carlson works on this, and connects research to policy and legal outcomes. Read more about his research here 👇.

This matters for developing policy and legal frameworks on a national and international scale, as well as predicting what might be the next big disease threat to humanity.

It's easy to say that we expect increasing temperatures to make specific diseases spread further, but actually proving that can be challenging.

One of the biggest challenges with climate change research is understanding how it actually impacts infectious disease in a quantitative way.

She also showed how public health prepares us to tackle new challenges from Mpox to lead poisoning using.📈 Timely surveillance data .🩺 Equitable access to diagnosis, treatment & prevention .🎬 Transparent public health communication.A true call to action ! .#PublicHealth #Yale.

She highlighted how public health has contributed to community well-being

👏👏👏 Thanks to @CTDPH Commissioner & Yale EMD Prof. Manisha Juthani for an inspiring Medical Grand Rounds: From NY to New Haven to Hartford: A Journey from Academia to Public Health. 🌟

PhD student Hailey Robertson studies what conditions must be met for new places to have ongoing dengue transmission so we can prepare for the future . Read more about her research here 👇.

This means that places that previously had no dengue, or only had sporadic outbreaks before, might have dengue transmission year round, significantly increasing cases.
