This will not be an abstract or theoretical talk. Instead, the speaker will relate his personal experiences with nostril ticks, armpit maggots, and so forth. The subtitle of the talk is “Unexpected Findings from Ecological and Genomic Research on Emerging Infectious Diseases.”
The talk will begin at 4 p.m., with a question and answer period from 4:45 to 5:15, followed by a reception.
Dr. Goldberg’s research takes him around the world to study emerging zoonoses as well as non-zoonotic diseases that threaten wildlife and imperil ecosystem services. His research combines epidemiology and social science with molecular biology to infer patterns of disease transmission and to identify causes of disease of unknown etiology. His overarching goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of animals and people while helping to conserve the rapidly changing ecosystems we share.
Tony Goldberg is professor of epidemiology and John D. MacArthur Research Chair at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Amherst College in biology and English in 1990, a Ph.D. from Harvard University in biological anthropology in 1996, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and master’s in epidemiology degrees from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2000.
This talk is part of the Drs. Raymond H. and Sandra M. Cypess Veterinary Public Health Speaker Series, with support from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology.
