Research Interests & Projects

I am interested in tracking emerging diseases to understand the interactions of pathogens, host and environment. I am also interested in assessing how those infectious disease transmission patterns change over time and space. I have previously collaborated in projects assessing antibiotic resistance and screening for infectious diseases at clinical settings.
