Her research has been sponsored by the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health and has focused primarily upon the immunology of vector-borne and parasitic diseases including lymphatic filariasis. Field research projects and learning journeys conducted in the Caribbean and extensive travel throughout Southeast Asia and India, have emphasized public health and preventive aspects of parasitic and communicable disease in developing countries. A strong interest in cross-cultural dimensions of healthcare practices informs her work in global public health. |
