Ph.D., 2017, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

Research Interests

Our research projects revolve around pathogen within-host dynamics and global molecular epidemiology. We apply and develop advanced "omic" techniques and evolutionary models, using biological samples from both human and animal model systems, to characterize the dynamic behavior of viruses and bacteria within the host and population. Our ultimate aim is to continue to improve these methods to better our understanding of the role of pathogen evolution in clinical and public health outcomes.
