Spatiotemporal dynamics of Streptococcus pneumoniae

I am co-supervised by Stephen Bentley and Henrik Salje at the University of Cambridge. I am working towards understanding global spatiotemporal dynamics of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal) populations. The migratory pathways and connectivity of pneumococcal populations has implications for estimating the geographic impact of emerging phenotypes and can inform prevention and treatment strategies.
