Profiles in "Diseases" Expertise Area

  • Grant McFadden directs the Biodesign Center for Immunotherapy, Vaccines, and Virotherapy (BCIVV) at ASU. The McFadden lab studies how poxviruses that cause immunosuppression interact with the host immune system.
  • My current work is creating a peripheral neuron synaptogenesis model in order to better examine the mechanisms of Herpes Simplex Virus exocytosis from synapses.
  • Schneider-Crease applies a One Health lens to explore how biological, social, and ecological systems shape health. She co-directs the Simien Mountains Gelada Research Project and the Zelaki Project in Ethiopia.
  • Zoë Baker is the Director of Health Strategy in the Knowledge Enterprise, with expertise in epidemiology, public health, and clinical research.
  • Bechtel's specific interests involve studying tick-borne pathogen interactions in desert ecosystems; however, she is also interested in how climate change can affect pathogen transmission in amphibian populations.
