Community Corner: A Q&A with global health researcher Jyothi Purushotham – Scripps Research Magazine
Emerging infectious diseases pose a persistent global health threat, with the potential to cause widespread morbidity, mortality, and significant social and economic disruptions. Postdoctoral researcher Jyothi Purushotham is working to understand how pathogens interact with their hosts, which is essential for deciphering the mechanisms that drive infection, transmission, disease progression and pathogen evolution. These insights can guide the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies to mitigate the impact of emerging pathogens on human populations.
