Beyond Infection: Integrating Competence into Reservoir Host Inference and Prediction
Presenter:
Dr. Dan Becker, Indiana University, postdoctoral fellow
Date:
Wednesday, November 11, 2020
Dr. Becker is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University, where he studies the associations between environmental change and infectious disease in wild bats and birds.
Dr. Becker received his PhD in Ecology from the University of Georgia, followed by postdoctoral work on pathogen spillover at Montana State University. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University, where he studies the associations between environmental change and infectious disease in wild bats and birds. Dr. Becker’s work combines field studies, mathematical models, immunology, and machine learning to better understand how zoonotic pathogens spread within and between populations and species and how environmental change will alter these infection dynamics. He will start as an Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of Oklahoma in Fall 2021
