Brian Dawes
Fellow in Medicine - Med/Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research is focused on better understanding the causes of acute febrile illness in Grenada in collaboration with the Windward Research and Education Foundation (WINDREF). We are conducting an acute febrile illness cohort and performing diagnostics for common arboviral infections including dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. We will use this data to develop better estimates for the incidence of arboviral infections on the island and identify epidemiologic risk factors which could be the target of preventative interventions. This study is also assessing a novel diagnostic system for antigen detections in collaboration with Dr. Ali Yanik at UCSC. We will be testing these samples for hantavirus infections or antibodies to determine if hantaviral infections are clinically important causes of disease in Grenada. In addition, we are performing a pilot ecologic survey of rodents and bats and will attempt to identify circulating hantaviruses in these species.

Mary de Boer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioI am a maternal and child nutrition researcher with expertise in nutritional epidemiology, implementation science, and environmental health. My work focuses on understanding heterogeneity in health outcomes among pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries — specifically, why evidence-based interventions fail to reach or benefit the most vulnerable subgroups. I use mixed methods combining traditional nutritional epidemiology with spatial analysis, multilevel and structural equation modeling, latent class analysis, and qualitative approaches to understand both biological and structural drivers of that heterogeneity. I come to academic research after 14 years as a field-based public health practitioner in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia within the USAID Foreign Service.

Thomas Duane Dieringer
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Infectious Diseases
BioI have worked over the last 10 years to build a foundation for a career in academic infectious diseases by providing thoughtful dedicated care for my patients, conducting clinically focused research, and remaining an engaged educator for developing physicians. My passion for the study of infectious diseases has led me to complete a general infectious diseases fellowship and additional focused training in transplant and immunocompromised infectious diseases. I will continue to work diligently with my colleagues focusing on the growth of medical learners, advancing patient centered clinical research, and striving to provide the highest quality of care to patients.
