Hello! My name is Anna and I'm currently a Research Scientist at the Colorado State University Center for Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases.

My work employs a combination of laboratory- and field-based approaches to ask questions about the emergence and transmission dynamics of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.

Conducting research on highly interdisciplinary teams has not only been a rewarding challenge. It's helped shape the lens through which I look at and think about pathogen sharing between species across time and space.

Please reach out if you're interested in discussing potential collaborations!

My work explores the transmission dynamics of zoonotic & vector-borne pathogens, asking questions like:

DRIVERS OF CROSS-SPECIES TRANSMISSION

How do anthropogenic and abiotic factors shape cross-species transmission?
Are spillover (anthropozoonosis) and spillback (anthropozoonosis) symmetrical processes?

WILDLIFE HEALTH INTELLIGENCE

How does stress in wildlife impact their susceptibility to disease?
How does climate change impact wildlife health and physiology?

VIRAL EVOLUTION AND PATHOGENESIS

How might the tripartite network of wildlife, arthropods, and their shared pathogens inform surveillance and transmission risk?
How does host-pathogen co-evolution shape morbidity and mortality?

DISEASE SURVEILLANCE

How can diagnostic advances enhance our ability to monitor pathogen sharing?
Which samples can we leverage for minimally invasive biosurveillance?

To learn more about how we've been approaching these questions, check out some of the papers we've recently published.

Do you have ideas to discuss, or do you want to collaborate?

I love meeting new people and discussing shared research interests.
