Overview

Environmental exposures stemming from climate change have strong implications for public health, and particularly for the spread of infectious disease. I explore disease patterns with the aim to expand upon the knowledge of understudied relationships between climate change and infectious respiratory diseases, including conditions such as Tuberculosis and Influenza. My research examines how climate change has the ability to modify exposure to disease, alter host susceptibility to disease, and impact disease morbidity.
