Harnessing the passion for global health at Duke
This summer, Duke undergraduates are in Kenya, India and Durham working with underserved populations. Duke faculty are researching cures and vaccines for AIDS and other infectious diseases that unduly burden developing countries. Duke environmentalists are studying how pollution contributes to the persistent inequalities in birth weight and premature birth among underserved populations in North Carolina and are investigating the effects of climate change on malaria transmission. Can anyone doubt that global health is flourishing at Duke?
