Her training provided significant experience in conducting biosafety level 3 research with emerging arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), including maintenance of infected tick and mosquito colonies in biocontainment facilities, and arthropod-host-virus transmission systems in animal models.
Research:
- Vector Biology and Emerging Arthropod-borne Viruses
- Ability of Invasive Tick Species to Transmit North American Arboviruses
- Tick-Virus-Host Interactions at the Cutaneous Interface
- Neuroinvasion and Neuropathogenesis of Emerging Arboviruses
