During his stay at Johns
Hopkins, Dr. Lara began
the first of many studies
on the diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention
of not one, but five
infectious diseases. Dr.
Lara focused on those
diseases because he was
“intrigued” by them and
he felt that there was a
rapid need to know and
spotlight these infectious
diseases.
While at Johns Hopkins
University, he developed
an interest in nuclear
medicine but he
completed his training

Before diving into

fascinated by the human

poor and that leads to the
foundation for her prolific
work in rural and
agricultural sociology.
