Personal profile
Research interests
I am an emerging pathogen biologist who uses a cross disciplinary approach to address a wide variety of questions regarding the host response (both the invertebrate and vertebrate host) to RNA virus (arthropod-borne viruses) infection, with a particular focus on the dynamics of host-virus interactions. My research program is directed at providing a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that govern host shifts, geographic expansions, and the emergence/re-emergence of arthropod-borne viruses. The overall goal of which is to develop strategies to interrupt transmission or predict a zoonotic pathogen’s adaptability or evolvability. I have extensive experience in arbovirus virology, vector biology, and animal model development.
