Information about the projects:
Students in Dr. Tiffany Doan's Evolutionary Medicine class in Fall 2007 were assigned a final project with a pretend budget of $5 million to spread the practices of evolutionary medicine in the world. Each group selected a disease or a suite of diseases in a particular region of the world to try to cure and reduce the virulence. The class hopes that these websites and reports will provide real, helpful information for those organizations and individuals that do have the funds to combat important infectious disease threats around the world.
