When Life Sciences alum Thanuri Navarathna (B.S. ’20, biological sciences) graduated from the University of Maryland, she walked straight into a pandemic. But she didn't panic; she got curious.
This year, Navarathna will take her epidemiology work to the next level. She received a Fulbright U.S. Student Award to travel to Sri Lanka, where she will investigate leptospirosis—a neglected bacterial disease that infects a million people and kills up to 60,000 globally every year.
