The Global Public Health Lab

We are an interdisciplinary team, directed by Dr Kate Zinszer, and we use tools from epidemiology, public health, global health, social sciences, informatics, and statistics in our work. Our goal is to conduct applied research for important global health issues in a collaborative manner, through early and active engagement with community and country partners. We are involved in a wide spectrum of topics and are expanding our research areas to include examining the health effects of climate change, applying EcoHealth approaches to interventions, and understanding the role of artificial intelligence in global health and other potential novel data sources and methodological approaches to monitoring and evaluation.
