Dr. Sabeti's lab focuses on developing new analytical and genomic methods to study evolutionary adaptation and genetic diversity in humans and pathogens, with three current research foci: (1) Identifying and characterizing the underlying adaptive changes that have shaped the human species over time; and (2) Investigating genetic diversity in pathogens such as Lassa virus, Ebola virus, Zika virus, and Babesia microti, towards improved diagnostics, surveillance, and interventions, and (3) Developing novels tools to detect and diagnose microbes causing human morbidity and mortality.

Scientists have developed a machine learning model that can predict which SARS-CoV-2 viral variants are likely to cause surges in COVID-19 cases.
A collaboration between Colorado Mesa University and the Broad Institute of M.I.T. and Harvard has yielded “the most sophisticated system in the country to track outbreaks” of COVID-19, according Pardis Sabeti, a professor of immunology and infectious diseases…
Companies, universities, and other large organizations and institutions that are conducting regular COVID-19 testing among their members should consider expanding their testing efforts to nearby communities to better control the spread of the virus, according to new research…
Many African nations are extremely vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks, including Ebola, Lassa fever, Zika, and West Nile virus. A March 17, 2021, Wired article looked at the joint effort of two scientists—Christian Happi and Pardis Sabeti—to develop…
Two Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faculty members, Marc Lipsitch and Pardis Sabeti, have been elected to the National Academy of Medicine.
