Alison P. Galvani, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor,
Division of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases
Laboratory Web page
Professor Galvani’s research focuses on integrating epidemiology and the evolutionary ecology or economics in order to generate predictions that could not be made by these disciplines alone. This interdisciplinary approach has widespread potential for answering evolutionary questions, explaining empirical observations and informing public health policy. Professor Galvani has applied this approach to the study of HIV, influenza, SARS and helminth parasites.
