Was a CIDD Postdoctoral Fellow until 2007; currently at Duke University
Research
While at CIDD, I was interested in using modeling approaches to understand the disease dynamics and evolution of multi-strain pathogens. In particular, my work focused on:
- The effects of strain diversity on disease dynamics
- The role that host immunity plays in creating selection pressures favoring the invasion of novel strain variants
- The role that seasonal and interannual climate variability plays in the dynamics of multi-strain diseases
