Associate Professor Yoel Lubell

Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit

Randomized trials are critical to the evaluation of treatments, vaccines, and other interventions, but can be difficult and costly to implement. This talk will showcase two projects facilitating large scale trials, in contexts as different as the management of fever in rural Asia, and interventions to boost productivity in the ‘WFH’ environment.
