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 animal-human interface in rapidly changing landscapes that constitute “fault lines” for disease emergence, disease spillover and subsequent spread. This work involves surveillance in wildlife and people with acute febrile illness in close contact with wildlife that are potential reservoirs for infectious disease.
