The overarching vision of Expert's research program is the reduction of disease burden associated with bacterial and viral infections among infants, children and adults. His research program focuses on the study of infections using innovative, multi-disciplinary tools that enable more rapid disease diagnosis as well as more accurate ascertainment of the disease burden due to specific infectious pathogens. His research integrates the application of tools across a wide range of disciplines in order to accurately describe disease burden by age, race/ethnicity, geography and environment. Expert conducts his research in close cooperation with community partners, non-governmental stakeholders, faith-based organizations, public health experts, and other technical experts with the goal of supporting the development of health programs and policies that improve individual patient outcomes and safety as well as reduce health disparities in the general population. Based on empiric research findings, Expert conducts rigorously-designed, evidence-based evaluation of interventions to achieve sustainable health gains particularly among under served populations.
