GLOBAL IMPACT
Laboratory Overview
DINGLASAN LABORATORY
It’s estimated that more than 400,000 individuals succumb to malaria every year, mostly children under 5 in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Global transmission of arboviruses by arthropod vectors is expanding, with Florida serving as a gateway for introduction from the Caribbean and South America
We translate bench side discoveries into global health interventions such as vaccines and more recently diagnostics.
Emerging Pathogens Institute
Our laboratory, located within the institute tackles several important emerging and re-emerging vector-borne diseases by dissecting the biology of transmission of these pathogens through their arthropod vector
Dr. Dinglasan, Principal Investigator
