   Chaves Lab

  • Mosquito ecology in the Bloomington area. We collect data about larval and adult mosquito abundance and use weather sensors to understand, using quantitative modeling techniques, what triggers mosquito outbreaks, i.e., when mosquito nuisance is unbearable and other important aspects of mosquito ecology that are relevant for understanding and controlling vector-borne diseases.

  • Food insecurity, health, and health care
  • Health challenges of Latinos/Hispanics, other ethnic minority groups, and immigrants
  • Global health

   Commodore (Exposure Lab@IU)

  • Characterizing the effects of electronic cigarette aerosols on gene and protein expression in humans and mouse models.

  • Investigating environmental measurements, models, risk factors and their causal pathways.

   Del Rio Lab

  • Community engaged research to understand how environmental exposures and events interact with determinants of health so that we can inform multilevel interventions.
  • Improving water security and preventing lead (Pb) exposure in under-resourced communities.
  • Assessing the water quality, reliability, and palatability of water for the Uplands Region in Indiana to inform actions for the region's providers.
  • Integrate big data and machine learning methods to predict homes at the highest risk to lead (Pb) exposure.
  • Piloting a community based risk assessment in a high risk community for Pb exposure.
