Biography

Patrick Hanington is a Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta and serves as the Associate Dean of Education. His primary research interests are focused on schistosomiasis, a disease affecting over 200 million individuals globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Hanington employs a blend of laboratory-based immunological techniques and field-based public health approaches to investigate the interactions between the parasite Schistosoma and its snail intermediate hosts. He aims to develop strategies to limit the transmission of schistosomiasis, integrating health promotion and education in endemic communities with environmental assessment and molecular biology. With a fellowship from the University of New Mexico and multiple academic accolades from the University of Alberta, his work is pivotal in understanding and combating the disease through environmental and biological methodologies.
