Partners
SSI has a wide range of partners and collaborators through our various programs and primary research projects around the world. We believe that strengthening networks of researchers, health professionals, and global health advocates is a critical component of our work.
University of California Berkeley’s School of Public Health has had a long-term collaboration with SSI. President Dr. Eva Harris (Professor) and Executive Director Dr. Josefina Coloma (Project Scientist) run an interdisciplinary Dengue research program and are faculty in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology.

Scientists Without Borders aims to mobilize and coordinate science-based activities that improve the quality of life in the developing world. The organization is based on the idea that the research community is already promoting areas such as global health, agricultural progress, and environmental well-being, but current communication gaps restrict its power. Scientists Without Borders seeks to fill this gap by building a web portal whose cornerstone is a database that matches needs with resources.
Seeding Labs reclaims high-quality used laboratory equipment from universities in the greater Boston area and sends it to scientists in developing countries to help them carry out first-rate scientific and biomedical research.
Hesperian Foundation works to provide information and educational tools that help all people take greater control over their health and work to eliminate the underlying causes of poor health. Hesperian produces and shares easy-to-understand health information for people worldwide.
