Public Health Biology and Innovations Laboratory

The Public Health Biology Laboratory (PHBio) conducts biological research activities
that focus on the diagnosis, control, and prevention of diseases affecting Filipinos

We provide baseline and updated epidemiological data on neglected tropical diseases and rare genetic disorders to inform health program managers and policy makers

We examine morphological and molecular signatures that can be developed as non-invasive biomarkers for detecting diseases in the early stages, predicting treatment response, and prognosticating disease outcomes

We investigate interactions among hosts, pathogens, and the environment to formulate public health strategies in partnership with local officials and health authorities
