Research Interests

Prof. Peplow has interacted directly with the UN, the Organization of American States, IADB, World Bank, the G20, communities, and other diverse international partners to develop a methodology global health practitioners could use to further address international health crises where international policies contribute to compromised health conditions that pose a regional threat to security. A key question asked in response to his request for a joined-up effort to address specific global health issues has been: “Where are the bodies”. To answer that question, Prof. Peplow is now developing a cloud-based “app” that victims, their families, and communities in the Guiana Shield region can use to self-report health issues traceable to the assimilation process. Comments, questions, and suggestions are currently being solicited from all sectors that will be used to prepare a final design model and make the app an effective tool for addressing non-communicable NTD’s and for increasing stability in the region.
