This Master's study examines dietary changes among Hispanic breast cancer survivors, highlighting disparities in diet quality and survivorship outcomes. Surveying 411 women in Florida, researchers found many reported eating less—often due to treatment side effects—and only 60% met fruit and vegetable recommendations. Findings support integrating dietitians and nutrition education into oncology care.

This research explores a novel malaria control strategy by manipulating mosquito sugar metabolism. By forcing Anopheles stephensi to adapt to low-sugar diets across generations, mosquitoes evolved reduced malaria parasite loads. Targeting mosquito nutrition offers a promising alternative to insecticides for controlling malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.

As urban living increases, access to green and blue spaces may play a crucial role in pregnancy health. This longitudinal PhD research uses anonymised health records to examine how nearby nature affects maternal mental health and birth outcomes, with evidence suggesting reduced pregnancy complications and important implications for urban planning and public health policy.

Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever is a deadly tick-borne virus affecting communities in Uganda and spreading with climate change.
