About Us
Mission
CTAP is composed of a group of scientists that use interdisciplinary approaches to study and understand all aspects of airborne transmission of pathogens with the ultimate goal of reducing disease.
Vision
By leveraging multiple disciplines, we are investigating transmission of respiratory pathogens and defining the effectiveness of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies to limit their spread. Our research will enable evidence-based decision-making for stopping the spread of respiratory pathogens.
