People:
We value the wide range of experiences and viewpoints that individuals bring to the laboratory. Our goal is to provide equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, race, nationality, age, or ability. We strive to foster a learning environment that supports individuals at all skill levels and areas of interest, and we actively encourage participation from undergraduate students in our research efforts. We welcome collaboration with other laboratories and engagement with the broader community to enhance our work and broaden our perspectives.
Lab Environment:
We aim to maintain a respectful and supportive space for learning, collaboration, and innovation. Students are encouraged to engage fully and authentically, without fear of judgment or mistreatment. We promote open communication, where all members are given the opportunity to be heard. The lab upholds a safe and professional atmosphere, free from discriminatory behavior and harmful symbols.
Research & Teaching:
While global progress against malaria has been substantial, the benefits have not been experienced equally across all populations. Communities with fewer resources continue to bear a disproportionate burden of disease. As we contribute to the ongoing efforts against malaria, we also acknowledge the broader societal factors that impact public health. Our lab is committed to expanding access to research opportunities and fostering growth among scientists from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels. Through education and research, we work together toward improving our understanding of disease and contributing to the global effort to reduce its impact.
