Andrea Sosa Moreno, PhD, MS
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Sosa Moreno's research focuses on the intersection of climate change and health,
with a particular emphasis on water-related challenges in low-income regions. Her
work explores how water intermittency and poor-quality water systems influence behaviors
and increase disease risk, particularly waterborne and arboviral infections. With
expertise in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), as well as infectious disease
transmission, Dr. Sosa Moreno's work aims at advancing global health outcomes in underserved
populations.
