生物

Dr. 多恩 believes students learn science by doing science so engages her students in “discovery based” and active learning activities in her courses. She encourages an atmosphere where students and faculty work together, support and teach each other in a cooperative, rather than competitive environment. To train students in effective communication, she emphasizes oral and written scientific communication. She strives to enliven the material by discussing recent findings and how science is relevant to everyday life. She encourages meaningful engagement with the community and a deeper understanding of the subject through service learning.

Collaborative Research with Students

Dr. 多恩的 research is focused on understanding and interrupting transmission of vector-borne disease.  She and her students work on Chagas disease, a leading cause of heart disease in Latin America, which is caused by the parasite 鲁兹锥体. Current research is focused on understanding the interplay among the insect vector and parasite genomics, 和社会经济, landscape and environmental factors that impact transmission of Chagas disease in Mexico and Central America. She also has projects in the southern United States. 博士访问. 多恩的 网站 看到她 出版物 concerning Chagas Disease. Note that names with asterisks in the Recent 出版物 section below indicate student co-authors.

Dr. 多恩 is on sabbatical leave AY17-18, so will not be accepting new students during this time. She is always happy to talk with students about research so feel free to stop by her office.
