Brandon Ogbunu is
Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. His
research takes place at the intersection of evolutionary biology, genetics, and
epidemiology. He uses experimental evolution, mathematical modeling, and
computational biology to better understand the underlying causes and
consequences of disease, across scales: from the biophysics of proteins
involved in drug resistance to the social determinants driving epidemics at the
population level. In doing so, he aims to develop theory that enriches our
understanding of the evolutionary and ecological underpinnings of disease,
while contributing to practical solutions for clinical medicine and public
health.
