Research Connection: Dr. Cristina Lanzas, Professor of Infectious Disease

Dr. Lanzas is currently a Professor of Infectious Disease in our Population Health and Pathobiology, and the winner of the 2024 Zoetis Excellence in Research award! Her research is focused on the epidemiology and ecology of infectious diseases in animal and human populations. Her lab combines data, epidemiological analysis and mathematical models to study transmission, as well as identifying and designing control measures. A particular area of interest for her is understanding the role that the environment plays on transmission and spread of antimicrobial resistant pathogens, an important topic of concern in today’s study of public health.
