I am broadly interested in conservation biology, global change ecology, public health and environmental policy. Much of my research focuses on emerging infectious disease, their implications for human health and native wildlife. I am particularly interested in zoonoses - infectious agents shared between animals and humans, their global distribution, and how practices such as wildlife trade facilitate their emergence around the world.
