Students @ Grijalva's lab

My research involves a multidisciplinary approach that ranges from basic biological research and immunoparasitology to applied disease control strategy development and implementation. Therefore, opportunities for involvement exist for interested individuals with a wide range of interests and backgrounds. My Research page has additional information about the ongoing projects, both in my lab in Athens, as well as in Ecuador. If you find these projects interesting, contact me by email at grijalva@ohio.edu.
