About the Chan Laboratory

The Chan Lab is committed to ending all preventable child deaths worldwide. We conduct rigorous epidemiologic, clinical, and public health science to design, test, and scale interventions and strategies to improve survival.

We recognize the global relevance of our research and are committed to fostering collaboration with communities around the world. Our longstanding interdisciplinary collaborations with scientists in regions with high child mortality and morbidity rates keep us and our science grounded in the needs of the communities we strive to serve.

Child mortality disproportionately affects low-resource communities, where poverty further intensifies the vulnerability to risk factors. Our research group is dedicated to advancing health globally and within our own communities. We welcome individuals who share this commitment, fostering an environment free from any form of discrimination. We value and encourage team members to engage in activities outside of their research, including advocacy, volunteering, and mentorship, bringing strength to our team, harnessing the power of unique experiences to enhance our collective success.
