Welcome!

An evolutionary ecology approach is critical to understanding how host-parasite interactions have changed through time in response to each other and to modifications in the environment. My lab's research investigates the role that genetic variability plays in parasite evolution. We integrate field, experimental, and molecular data with ecological, phylogenetic, and population genetic analyses to better understand patterns of disease from both host and parasite perspectives.
