Yu-Han KaoPhD Candidate, Epidemiology
BWF PUP program: University of Michigan "Integrated training in Microbial Systems (ITiMS)"
Research Interests: understanding the complex dynamics between the environment, human behaviors, and disease transmission by connecting them with modeling methods. (read more)
Email: kaoyh@umich.edu
Denise Kirschner, PhDProfessor, Microbiology and Immunology
BWF PUP program: University of Michigan "Integrated Training in Microbial Systems (ITiMS)"
Research Interests: host-pathogen interactions in infectious diseases. This means defining both the immune responses and the microbial characteristics that lead to infection and disease. In particular, our main focus is studying persistent infections - infections that the host is not able to clear. (read more)
