Dr. Parr is a founding member of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Ecology Lab at UNC (IDEEL, www.ideelresearch.org). He has collaborated with the World Health Organization on efforts to improve malaria diagnosis and treatment and is as an Associate Editor for Healthcare: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation.
