Infectious Disease and Epidemics Program (IDEP)
The IDEP team travels regularly to the Dominican Republic to support the data collection and monitoring for multiple CDC-funded infectious disease research projects. These projects aim to mitigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 and other epidemic-prone pathogens in the region. Devan Dumas, Program Manager, travelled twice to Santo Domingo to follow up on data collection activities for the national serological survey, as well as assist in coordinating the transport of samples from the DR Public Health National Laboratory to Brigham and Women’s. Kathryn Roberts, Epidemiologist, and Michael De St Aubin, Research Specialist, visited the prospective surveillance hospital sites in Moca and San Pedro de Macoris to support the implementation of their newly established alcohol-based hand rub production units, which will provide hand sanitizer to the employees and patients of both hospitals.
