Mouhamad Sy Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Mouhamad Sy's research bridges the disciplines of infectious disease biology and global health, focusing particularly on vector-borne illnesses. His work encompasses both malaria and other mosquito-borne viruses, as evidenced by genomic investigations into dengue fever outbreaks in Senegal. Sy has also explored the unexpected interplay between Plasmodium infection and SARS-CoV-2, revealing associations with cross-reactive antibodies. His research utilizes genomic surveillance to understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum, including the genetic relatedness of parasites and the identification of transmission correlates. Additionally, he developed a novel genetic metric to differentiate between co-transmission and superinfection in malaria. Beyond the laboratory, Sy also studies global maritime and colonial histories.

His primary research interests include malaria research and control, mosquito-borne diseases, and vector-borne infectious diseases.
