How common are diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever in low-income countries - and how can they be combated? New vaccines are the focus of research at the South Korean institute where Catharina Vendle's interview partner is currently working.
Our science expert Dr. Dr. Catharina Vendle met epidemiologist Dr. Andrea Haselbeck in Bali, where she currently lives, and talked to the expert about her work in public health at the research institute in South Korea. Why Korea? Although she grew up in Germany, she is German-Korean.
Andrea is originally a veterinarian, an experience that also benefits her in her current position, since many diseases are transmitted by animals.
As a member of a team of scientists, Catharina Vendl is also involved in the production of the podcast series Boiling Point, which can be heard on the Internet here:
