Laboratory Science
EMD has long tradition of public health discovery through laboratory science. In our first century, YSPH was home to the groups like the bacteriology lab, the Poliomyelitis Study Unit, the Arbovirus Research Unit which moved from the Rockefeller Foundation to Yale in 1964, and the WHO Serum bank. Scientists like Nobel prize winning Max Theiler have driven the field’s understanding of disease through basic science for generations, with major insights to both infectious and chronic diseases. Today, Yale is home to several laboratories addressing vector borne diseases transmitted by tsetse flies, sand flies, ticks, mosquitoes and more. In addition, there are robust groups of scientists pursuing solutions to respiratory ailments, antibiotic resistance, diagnostic testing, vaccine development and infections related to STIs and intravenous drug use.
