Marissa S. Milstein
Postdoctoral Associate, Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences
I am a wildlife infectious disease veterinarian working at the intersections of disease ecology, anthropology, and genomics. I integrate quantitative and qualitative methods to understand the ecological and socio-cultural context of pathogen spillover.
Research
I am the Co-Principal Investigator of the Konashen Ecosystem Health Project. This project is a collaboration with the Waiwai, an Indigenous Amazonian community who owns and manages the Konashen Amerindian Protected Area (KAPA) in Guyana, South America. Through this long-term partnership, we co-construct research questions focusing on zoonotic disease, wild meat and food security, sustainable resource use, and vector-borne disease.
