معرفی
Morgan Goheen is a Clinical Fellow and Instructor in the Section of Infectious Diseases at Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on malaria transmission dynamics, particularly the impact of antimalarials on mosquito vectors and drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa. He is affiliated with the EMD (Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases) program at Yale School of Public Health, collaborating with mentors Prof. Sunil Parikh and Dr. Amy Bei. His work combines field research in Burkina Faso with lab-based studies to explore vector biology, transmission-blocking interventions, and the effects of long-acting antimalarials on parasite development.
Educated at Princeton University (AB, Molecular Biology), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (MD/PhD, Microbiology and Immunology), he has clinical training through Yale’s Internal Medicine residency and Physician-Scientist Training Program. His research has addressed host iron metabolism’s role in malaria susceptibility, with findings published in high-impact journals.
Key research interests include: mosquito salivary antigens as transmission biomarkers, vector-parasite-drug interactions, and global health strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance. His recent Centennial Travel Award supports fieldwork in Burkina Faso, studying antimalarial exposure in mosquitoes and its implications for resistance spread.
- Mentored by EMD faculty in translational malaria research
- Recipient of Centennial Travel Award for tropical disease research
- Published over 20 peer-reviewed articles on malaria pathogenesis and clinical interventions
His clinical and research activities reflect a commitment to addressing global health disparities through interdisciplinary approaches, bridging basic science, field epidemiology, and clinical practice.
