Ernest Asare serves as an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases at Yale School of Public Health, where he focuses on mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission with particular emphasis on diarrhea and malaria. His research examines the impact of meteorological and climatic factors on disease dynamics, vaccine effectiveness, and public health interventions across low- and middle-income countries.
Dr. Asare's educational background includes both BSc and PhD degrees from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. His primary research interests span Mathematical Epidemiology, Climate Change and Health, Disease Transmission Modeling, Rotavirus Vaccines, and Environmental Health. His work frequently employs sophisticated mathematical models to quantify disease transmission patterns and evaluate intervention strategies.
His recent publication record demonstrates strong productivity, with multiple high-impact articles in 2023-2025 spanning journals like PLOS Global Public Health, EClinicalMedicine, Science Advances, and JAMA Pediatrics. His research consistently addresses critical intersections between climate variability, infectious disease transmission, and public health interventions.
His notable scientific contributions include demonstrating the connection between severe flooding and increased diarrhea risk in children (featured in Yale News October 2, 2023) and establishing links between drought conditions and higher diarrhea risk among children (featured June 30, 2022).
Dr. Asare maintains active research collaborations with prominent Yale faculty including Virginia Pitzer (5 joint publications), Kai Chen (3 joint publications), and Joshua Warren (2 joint publications), focusing on climate-disease interactions and vaccine impact assessment across multiple continents.
