The Grubaugh Lab is located within the Yale School of Public Health, Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases. Our department uniquely combines clinical, computational, and laboratory-based approaches to combat infectious diseases around the world.
We are using pathogen genomics to study how mosquito- and tick-borne viruses, like Zika, West Nile, chikungunya, and Powassan emerge into new areas, cause disease, and adapt to novel environments. Ultimately, our goal is to better understand and respond to outbreaks.
