Welcome to the Anto-Ocrah Lab
The Anto-Ocrah Lab is focused on three main areas of research:
- Reproductive Health
- Social Media and Health
- Global Emergency Medicine
As population health researchers on the translational science spectrum we strive to give representation to vulnerable populations in under-resourced settings, using a Team Science approach that capitalizes on the expertise of team members. At the core of the lab is a dedication to gender disparities.
We collaborate with epidemiologists, neurologists, statisticians, anthropologists, physicians, and various providers and content matter experts, to answer unexplored research questions that are relevant to the lab.
We do not re-invent the wheel. We rely on the strengths and expertise of our laboratory team members. We are all learners and teachers, with a common goal-the success of the Anto-Ocrah Laboratory Team.
