Research Interests
Dr. Budge joined the faculty at Washington University in 2014. Following residency in internal medicine at Vanderbilt, he joined the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, GA, where he became immersed in programmatic research focused on global elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF). He then returned to Vanderbilt to complete his fellowship in infectious diseases.
Dr. Budge’s research interest is in the global elimination and control of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and other neglected tropical diseases. His current work focuses on development of diagnostic tools for the detection of parasitic infections in the context of global public health programs.
