Emergence of Diagnostic-Resistant Malaria in Africa

Jonathan Parr, MD, MPH, is an assistant professor of medicine who studies the molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases. He is broadly interested in applying cutting-edge molecular and genomic tools to solve problems faced by marginalized populations across the globe. His work has focused on malaria in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other sites, but he has recently expanded his portfolio to include translational studies of viral hepatitis and syphilis. Dr. Parr is a founding member of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Ecology Lab at UNC (IDEEL, www.ideelresearch.org). Read More.
