My teaching interests run the spectrum from Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Parasitology to Emerging and re-emerging infectious disease.

The gut microbiome and intestinal helminths have coexisted in the gastrointestinal tract of humans throughout evolution, but their relationship remains largely unexplored. Dr. Taye's research aims to investigate the interactions between the gut microbiome and soil-transmitted Helminths (STHs) parasites. Additionally, he is studying how the microbiome changes due to antihelminthic drug treatments in Ethiopian school children. Dr. Taye's lab also examines the impact of the gut microbiome on certain childhood health outcomes, such as allergic disorders and malnutrition. Furthermore, he is interested in exploring the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on extra-gastroduodenal diseases. Dr. Taye welcomes diverse students to his Global Health Epidemiology (GHepi) Lab and enjoys mentoring undergraduate students' research projects, preparing them for graduate or medical school.

GPEH 100 Introduction to Global Public and Environmental Health
The overall purpose of this course is to introduce students to critical global health issues and ways to address or solve them. The curriculum focuses on the following global health topics: infectious and chronic diseases, maternal/child health, immigrant and refugee health, the relationship between political and cultural processes and health, factors contributing to disparate health outcomes in population groups and how to measure those outcomes. The course is divided into two parts. The first emphasizes the distribution and determinants of disease causation in global contexts utilizing skills and methods in the discipline of global health. The second examines some of the most pressing contemporary global health concerns and contextualizes those concerns in cross-cultural and historical knowledge.

BIO 310 Epidemiology
This course provides an introduction to epidemiology, the basic science of public health. Epidemiology provides a systematic approach for acquiring and evaluating information on the distribution and causes of disease and other health outcomes in populations. Topics include the history of epidemiology, an overview of epidemiologic methods (e.g., study design, measures of disease distribution and association, interpretation), and the application of epidemiologic research to the development and evaluation of disease prevention and control strategies. Current or historically relevant infectious and chronic diseases are explored through lecture, interactive exercises, and independent assignments. Prerequisites: BIOL 181 or BIOL 182 (formerly BIOL 211or BIOL 212), or permission of instructor. 

BIO 301/301L Parasitology
This course introduces students to the range of eukaryotic organisms that cause parasitic diseases in humans. The focus is on globally important helminths, protozoans, and arthropods. The latter will be covered as both agents and vectors of human parasitic diseases. Topics covered include the biology, geographical distribution, sources of infections, life cycles, route(s) of transmission, clinical disease, and control/preventive measures. The basic principles of laboratory diagnosis and treatment of parasitic diseases are included in the course to enhance the practical parasitology knowledge of the students. The course includes reading of the primary literature, and requires oral and written critical analysis of the literature. The credit-bearing laboratory BIOL 301L must be taken concurrently with BIOL 301. Prerequisite: completion of BIOL 181 and BIOL 182 (formerly BIOL 211 and 212) or permission of instructor. 

BIO 474 Global Health Epidemiology
This research tutorial provides students the opportunity to plan, conduct, and present original research in the area of global health and infectious disease epidemiology. Projects involve investigations in the field, laboratory, and/or data analysis. Potential topics for projects include mapping neglected tropical disease (specifically soil transmitted helminths parasite), and their impact on maternal and child health. In addition the role of H. pylori infection in extra-gastroduodenal diseases in general, in child growth development, anemia and allergic disorders in particular will be investigated in this research tutorial laboratory. Weekly meetings allow students to discuss their projects and relevant papers from primary literature. Students are expected to keep a research notebook and formally present research findings to the department. Students also complete a report of research activities in scientific format, with the goal of publication in a scientific journal, and a proposal in the format required by the National Science Foundation. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
