Her group conducts research to identify interventions to control, eliminate, or eradicate environmentally-transmitted infectious diseases, including malaria, diarrhea, soil-transmitted helminths, and influenza. The Benjamin-Chung lab uses a variety of epidemiologic, computational, and statistical methods, including causal inference and machine learning methods and focus on vulnerable populations from low-resource settings, both domestically and internationally.

Their mission is to improve population health by creating high quality evidence about what health interventions work in whom and where, when, and how to implement them. Most of the lab's research is focused on infectious diseases, including malaria, diarrhea, soil-transmitted helminths, and influenza. Their focus is on improving the health of vulnerable populations from low-resource settings, both domestically and internationally.
