This October, many members of the Leung Lab got to travel to the 2023 ASTMH* meeting in Chicago to share posters, give talks, chair sessions and network with our fantastic international community of researchers working to improve global health!
Kilee Davis (Lab Technician) and Carmen Nieznanski (Undergraduate) both traveled for their first conference to give a poster on their work assessing cholera antibodies in a post-infectious cohort in Congo. They did a great job!
Sharia Ahmed (Research Associate) gave a talk on assessing seroconversion in children following polio vaccination.
Christy Clutter (Postdoctoral Fellow) shared her work in collaboration with University of Florida assessing the pre-epidemic cholera antibody titers in the Leogane region of Haiti.
Daniel (PI) chaired several “Meet the Professor” sessions for trainees and clinicians discussing relevant issues in tropical medicine.
In addition to sharing their research, members of the Leung lab got to sit in on some exciting science, catch up with collaborators and colleagues, and indulge in some deep dish pizza. Till next year, ASTMH!
