Celebrating Alli Probst: A New Chapter in Public Health

“When I applied to PhD programs, the BPH program fit my research interests. I’m surrounded by people who are focused on public health for everyone, and that motivation ends up informing the basic biology research that I do.”
Reflecting on her academic journey that eventually brought her to The Harvard Chan School’s Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH) program, soon-to-be PhD graduate Alli Probst shares how she approached her PhD project, the impact her groundbreaking research on malaria transmission has had within the field of public health, and what her post-graduation plans include. On Wednesday, May 28th, IID and the rest of the Chan School celebrated all of Alli’s insights, successes, and contributions throughout her time in the BPH program during this year’s Convocation Ceremony!
We’re proud to honor Alli’s accomplishments and excited to continue supporting her as she takes on new challenges and becomes a leader in the fight for global health.
