General

I am a veterinarian with training in epidemiology, classical virology, and diagnostic microbiology. I integrate approaches from across these disciplines to ask questions about how pathogens are transmitted between hosts, how they are maintained in the environment, and which factors (both intrinsic and extrinsic) modulate host immunity and responses to infection.
