Grad Lab

Our lab studies how pathogens evolve and spread. We use experimental and computational tools to test our hypotheses and collaborate with clinical and public health institutions. Our overall aim is to improve diagnostics, therapeutics, and clinical and public health strategies to aid in the control of infectious diseases.
