Dr. Jay Graham’s research combines qualitative and epidemiologic methods and next-generation DNA sequencing to refine our understanding of the drivers for transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and zoonotic infectious diseases. He has worked in a variety of countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa, and he has extensive experience working on the US-México border where he conducted research on the primary prevention of diarrheal diseases and pneumonia within informal settlements of Ciudad Juárez, MX. Much of his work has focused on developing more efficient and cost-effective approaches to scale-up public health initiatives for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Dr. Graham holds an M.P.H. and an M.B.A., and he received his PhD from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
