He is a member of the UW-based Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases and is a clinical investigator with the Seattle-based Malaria Clinical Trials Center, a translational research center that works to safely determine the efficacy of malaria vaccine and drug candidates through controlled human malaria infection trials.
