Wendy Prudhomme-O'Meara, PhD, assistant professor of medicine (Infectious Diseases) and global health, has received a supplemental award through Duke Translational Research. The award will provide supplemental funding for the project "Novel mHealth platform to ensure quality of community-based malaria diagnosis."
