Lydia is a nutritionist working on innovative mobile phone-based methods for integrated monitoring of ecosystem and public health, exploring linkages between aquatic biodiversity and nutritional adequacy for fisheries-dependent communities living on the frontlines of climate change.
Wildlife Health Program Coordinator
Jennifer is the communications and activities coordinator for the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab and assists other related programs. Her research interests include avian disease, insects, and arthropods.
Veterinary Epidemiologist & Disease Ecologist
Raina studies the mechanisms that drive the spillover of pathogens between species. Her transdisciplinary work demonstrates that preserving and restoring wildlife habitats can stop pathogen spillover by minimizing contact between wildlife and people as well as their livestock.
Postdoctoral Affiliate
Karann is a tiger ecologist interested in themes ranging from predator ecology to conflict mitigation. His current research examines the implications for tigers of disease-mediated prey depletion due to the impacts of African swine fever (ASF) virus on wild pig species in northeast and southeast Asia.
Wildlife Veterinarian
Robin’s work addresses critical One Health challenges linking endangered species, environments, and communities. He seeks novel solutions through stakeholder engagement.
