Research

I am broadly interested in the evolutionary ecology of host-pathogen interactions.

My research uses experimental infections in host-parasite model systems to investigate questions about the epidemiology, ecology, and evolution of infectious disease.  A common theme in my work has been context-dependent infection: in order to understand how disease will spread and evolve, it is necessary to study infection in the lab under the variable genetic and environmental contexts that hosts and parasites will commonly experience in the wild.  My current interests focus on how variation in resistance and tolerance to infection at the level of individual hosts may influence the epidemiology and evolution of disease at the population level.
