Recherche
Claire’s research focuses on investigating the transmission dynamics of zoonotic and animal infectious diseases with the objective to improve our ability to predict and control future outbreaks. Her work combines pathogen genome sequences and case surveillance data to reconstruct epidemics and identify determinants of spread. Her research is highly inter-disciplinary, involving integrative approaches such as epidemiology, disease modelling, phylodynamics and ecology. She is currently involved in projects focusing on avian influenza, African swine fever, peste des petits ruminants and hepatitis E virus.
