Amy Kristine Bei

Amy Kristine Bei is an Associate Professor at the Yale School of Public Health within the Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases. As Affiliated Faculty of the Yale Institute for Global Health, her work bridges Malaria Research, Genomic Surveillance, and Global Health initiatives across Sub-Saharan Africa.

• Co-leads G4 Group in Senegal
• Member of Janeway Society and Microbiology program
• Part of Yale Combined Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences

Her multidisciplinary research combines Population Genetics, Systems Biology, and Experimental Genetics to study Plasmodium falciparum dynamics in declining transmission settings. Key focuses include Genotype-specific Immunity development, Vaccine Candidate Validation, and Vector-Parasite Interactions.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent themes: Drug Resistance Monitoring in Senegal, Vaccine-induced Neutralization of diverse parasite strains, Mosquito Salivary Biomarkers for exposure detection, and Genomic Epidemiology of malaria transmission clusters. Methodologically, she emphasizes Field-deployable Solutions and CRISPR-Cas9 Functional Analysis.
