Dr. Christine Kreuder Johnson

Dr. Christine Kreuder Johnson’s work is committed to transdisciplinary research to characterize impacts of environmental change on animal and human health, inform preparedness for emerging threats, and guide public policy at the intersection of emerging disease and environmental health. Professor Johnson’s research has pioneered new approaches to characterization of emerging threats and disease dynamics at the wildlife-human interface in rapidly changing landscapes that constitute “fault lines” for disease emergence, disease spillover and subsequent spread. Her work seeks to catalyze transdisciplinary scientific and technological advances needed to transform our ability to characterize the pre-emergence phases of pandemics to protect human and animal health and promote resilient ecosystems.
