Dr. Peter Asaga Mac | Infectious diseases | Best Researcher Award 

Senior clinical research fellow | University Hospital Freiburg | Germany

Dr. Peter Asaga Mac is a dedicated researcher at Universitätsklinikum Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, specializing in infectious and zoonotic diseases. His scientific work focuses on understanding the epidemiology, immune response, and transmission dynamics of emerging viral infections, particularly mosquito-borne diseases such as Chikungunya and Dengue. Through a combination of field-based studies, serological analyses, and molecular surveillance, Dr. Mac investigates how co-circulating arboviruses interact within populations and contribute to public health challenges in endemic regions, especially in Africa. His notable publication, “An Undetected Expansion, Spread, and Burden of Chikungunya and Dengue Cocirculating Antibodies in Nigeria” (Zoonotic Diseases, 2024), provides valuable insight into the unnoticed expansion of these viruses and their long-term implications for disease control strategies. Dr. Mac’s research is characterized by its translational value—bridging scientific discovery with actionable health interventions to improve epidemic preparedness and response. His collaborations with international scientists strengthen global efforts to monitor zoonotic threats and develop more resilient surveillance systems. Despite being an early-career researcher, his contributions are gaining recognition within the academic community. With 3 publications, 14 citations  and an h-index of 2, Dr. Mac’s growing academic footprint reflects his potential to make lasting contributions to infectious disease research, particularly in the areas of viral immunology, epidemiological modeling, and global health resilience. His commitment to evidence-based solutions continues to shape a better understanding of emerging diseases and their impact on human health worldwide.
