Evolutionary thinking and the management of infectious diseases

Evolutionary thinking and the management of infectious diseases

Andrea Graham and Olivier Restif edited a special issue  of Philosophical Transactions B on  ‘Within-host dynamics of infection: from ecological insights to evolutionary predictions’ It is available open access during November. http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/370/1675/20140304

Andrea Graham will be speakng in the CEM Seminar Series on November 5, 2015. She will present her talk "Cutting both ways: Antibodies in health and disease". Graham is an Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolution Biology at Princeton University. She earned an A.B. from Mount Holyoke College and a Ph.D. from Cornell University.  Graham focused on disease ecology for both her undergraduate thesis and her Ph.D. dissertation.  As a post-doc and later as an independent research fellow at University of Edinburgh, she tested evolutionary hypotheses about immune responses to co-infections and about predisposition to autoimmune diseases.  In 2011, Graham moved to the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University, where she continues to apply evolutionary thinking to host-parasite interactions.
