Advancing infectious disease research through genomics and genetics

 

Genomics & Genetics

At our core we leverage genetics and genomics (and other forms of big data) to understand the role of variation infectious disease in both hosts and pathogens around the world. We aim to train and build experimental and computational capacity in the countries where we work.

Our Genomics Research

Malaria & Parasitology

Studying malaria in multiple countries across the globe with a focus in Africa where the greatest burden of disease is found, we investigate basic biology, dissecting immune responses for improved vaccines, to tracking the emergence and spread of drug resistance.

Our Parasitology Research

Burkitt Lymphoma & EBV

Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a childhood cancer driven by falciparum malaria and Epstein Barr Virus. We are particularly interested in is how these pathogens affect oncogenesis as well as tumor progression and survival. We are also interested in the viral population and evolutionary history.

Jeff Bailey MD PhD

I am a geneticist and genomicist as well as a clinical pathologist and transfusion medicine specialist. I have always been interested in global health and the interplay between host and pathogen since my days in the Peace Corps where I witnessed the devastating effects of HIV, malaria, and TB in Africa. Our lab works with a close-knit group of investigators at UNC, Imperial College, UMass Chan, and Brown pursuing interdisciplinary, integrative biology to answer key questions related to infectious disease, translational medicine, and public health.
