About
This is a new research group in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan.
Work focuses on the impacts of global change on the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, particularly vector-borne and environmentally-mediated pathogens. Work in the lab uses a combination of lab experiments, field surveys, and genomics. The overarching goal of this work is to advance strategies to protect both human and planetary health.
