Dehao Chen

Dehao Chen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University. His work focuses on understanding the epidemiological and socio-environmental determinants of infectious diseases and nutritional outcomes in low-and middle-income countries, particularly in Ethiopia and China.

Research interests include:

• Campylobacter spp. colonization in infants and its association with household environments and livestock
• Impact of women’s engagement in agricultural activities (e.g., khat production) on child nutrition
• One Health approaches to address zoonotic pathogens and socio-environmental health challenges
• Geospatial analysis of health risks in rural regions
• Vaccine efficacy studies (e.g., enterovirus 71 in China)
• Clinical case studies of imported tropical diseases, such as atypical cerebral schistosomiasis

Recent articles (2020–2025) highlight trends in longitudinal studies of Campylobacter dynamics, socio-economic factors influencing child nutrition, and the integration of geospatial tools into public health research. Earlier work (2014–2015) explored veterinary microbiology and diagnostics for livestock pathogens in China.
