Where we are strongest
Tropical & infectious disease.
Barranquilla sits in an endemic zone for dengue, Zika and chikungunya. That is not a marketing line — it is the epidemiology of the region, and it means naive and exposed populations are reachable for vaccine and therapeutic studies without importing a cohort.
Our investigators have published on:
- Dengue and Zika vaccine research
- Congenital Zika syndrome
- Neutralizing antibody response
- Chronic arthritis associated with chikungunya
We also work across HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis.
