Dr. Christine Ngaruiya
Principal Investigator & Lab Director
Dr. Christine Ngaruiya leads our global health research lab with a vision of advancing health equity through culturally-competent, evidence-based interventions. As Associate Professor at Stanford University and former Yale faculty, she brings unique bicultural expertise spanning emergency medicine, implementation science, and global health policy.
My leadership philosophy centers on capacity building and mentorship, having trained over 150 researchers across Africa, Asia, and North America. My collaborative approach has established partnerships with institutions across three continents, creating sustainable research networks that continue to generate impact long after project completion.
Recognition as a National Academy of Sciences Fellow and Schmidt Futures Fellow reflects her commitment to fostering the next generation of global health leaders while conducting research that directly influences national and international health policies.
