Research Interest
Our lab combines experimental data with mathematical analysis and computational simulations to obtain an understanding of the complex processes that govern the dynamics of infectious diseases. Specific diseases of interest include influenza, tuberculosis, and norovirus. We have also looked into drug resistance, pathogen-immune response interactions, and the evolution and adaptation of microbial populations. We receive funding from the university as well as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the National Institutes of Health (NIAID/NIH).
