Albert Ko, MD
Infectious Diseases
Biography
Albert Ko, MD, is an infectious diseases specialist and epidemiologist whose research focuses on infectious rapid diseases that have emerged in urban slum populations as a consequence of rapid urbanization and social inequity. These diseases include Zika, dengue, bacterial meningitis, leptospirosis, and COVID-19.
During the pandemic, he served as co-chair of Governor Lamont’s Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group and he continues to advise state officials on disease prevention and control plans. Dr. Ko is also a collaborating researcher at the Brazilian Ministry of Health’s Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. He has worked in Brazil for more than 30 years; his projects are understanding the role that social marginalization, urban ecology, and climate play in the emergence of infectious diseases in urban slum communities and implementing community-based solutions.
Dr. Ko is the program director of the Fogarty/NIH Global Health Equity Scholars Program, which provides mentored global health research training fellowship in 24 sites in low- and middle-income countries. He is also a member of the World Health Organization’s research and development task force for Zika and the R&D Blueprint Working Group.
He is the Raj and Indra Nooyi Professor of Public Health and professor of epidemiology (microbial diseases) and medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale School of Medicine.

Biography
Albert Ko, MD, is an infectious diseases specialist and epidemiologist whose research focuses on infectious rapid diseases that have emerged in urban slum populations as a consequence of rapid urbanization and social inequity. These diseases include Zika, dengue, bacterial meningitis, leptospirosis, and COVID-19.
During the pandemic, he served as co-chair of Governor Lamont’s Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group and he continues to advise state officials on disease prevention and control plans. Dr. Ko is also a collaborating researcher at the Brazilian Ministry of Health’s Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. He has worked in Brazil for more than 30 years; his projects are understanding the role that social marginalization, urban ecology, and climate play in the emergence of infectious diseases in urban slum communities and implementing community-based solutions.
Dr. Ko is the program director of the Fogarty/NIH Global Health Equity Scholars Program, which provides mentored global health research training fellowship in 24 sites in low- and middle-income countries. He is also a member of the World Health Organization’s research and development task force for Zika and the R&D Blueprint Working Group.
He is the Raj and Indra Nooyi Professor of Public Health and professor of epidemiology (microbial diseases) and medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale School of Medicine.
