Devan Jaganath, MD, MPH

Assistant Professor

I am a pediatric infectious diseases physician, and my research program is focused on improving the care of children with tuberculosis (TB). In particular, I utilize epidemiology and data science methods to develop and identify new tools and biomarkers for TB diagnosis and treatment, and evaluate their accuracy and implementation through multi-center clinical studies.
