Perkins, Sarah - Cardiff University - School of Biosciences

个人简介

I studied Environmental Science at Plymouth University after which I worked for the UK Wildlife Trusts as a Conservation Officer. I started my research career several years later with a NERC Fellowship at Aberdeen University studying for a MSc Ecology. After this, I completed my PhD at Stirling University with Prof. Peter Hudson, studying the ecological dynamics of disease with a NERC Fellowship based at the Centro di Ecologia Alpina in the Italian Alps. My post-doc took me to the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD) at Penn State University. I returned to the UK in 2009 to start a Marie Curie Fellowship at Cardiff University, after completion of which I became a Lecturer at Cardiff University.

研究领域

My current research focusses on: The role of individuals in disease persistence and invasion Social networks and infectious disease dynamics Using bioluminescent reporters to study real-time in vivo pathogen dynamics Interactions between macrobiota (helminths) and microbiota (bacteria) Wildlife diseases of small mammals Citizen science
