Biography
Dr. Lauren Pischel obtained her undergraduate degree in biology at Brown University and worked in the lab of Dr. Jake Kurtis on the development of a pediatric malaria vaccine. She obtained her MD at Stanford where she conducted research with Dr. Julie Parsonnet on the impact of an antimicrobial triclosan on the human microbiome. She then completed her internal medicine residency at Yale where she was awarded the primary care award for the Fair Haven Community Health Center. She subsequently pursued here fellowship in infectious diseases at Yale and her Master of Science in the epidemiology of infectious diseases at Yale. Her current interests include the epidemiology and household transmission of COVID-19 and influenza as well vaccine effectiveness and emerging infectious diseases, as well as interactions of infectious diseases with climate change and changing environmental landscapes.
