Webinar: Investigating emerging zoonotic viruses across reservoir, spillover, and vector species

Dr. Anja C. M. de Bruin is a virologist originally from the Netherlands with a background in Infection and Immunity. She completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Utrecht University, during which she interned at the Department of Microbiology at Mount Sinai in New York. She then pursued a PhD on low and highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses under the supervision of Dr. Mathilde Richard and Prof. Ron Fouchier in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, focusing on viral tropism and evolutionary pressures in birds. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Gisa Gerold’s group at the Medical University of Innsbruck in Austria, where she studies arbovirus host factors in mosquito cells. In this webinar, Dr. de Bruin will highlight how studying viruses within their original ecological context can provide important insights into fundamental principles of infection biology.
