“Working with the START Center during my doctoral degree provided an unbeatable opportunity for hands-on application of my epidemiology training and experience working strategically with global health leaders. I was constantly energized by START’s amazing community and mission to produce high-quality research and analytic support towards global impact. I continually reflect on my experiences with START as I grow my research pursuits in infectious disease epidemiology.” –Sarah Cox, Research Assistant, 2020 – 2021
