Several doctoral students and a faculty mentor in the PhD in Public Health degree program (concentration in Global Health) were well-represented at the recent 2022 Joint International Tropical Medicine hybrid Meeting, which focuses on tropical medicine and global health. The global conference highlighted recent research on basic infectious disease research, social sciences in global health, mathematical modeling in global health, and important updates on treatment and diagnosis of tropical diseases like malaria.
