About Carla N Mavian
I’m an Assistant Professor at the Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, and a Research Associate at the Global Health Program, Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute. My research embodies the One Health approach by focusing on host, pathogen, environment, and enables deeper understanding emergence and transmission of pathogens in hotspots and ecosystems threatened by climate and land-use change. Currently my lab is working actively in 1) researching vibrios geographic expansion and modeling the impact of climate on regional outbreaks; 2) developing integrative modeling of phylodynamic, vector, human travel and epidemiological data to infer arboviral risk of importation and local transmission; 3) characterizing zoonotic viruses circulating in wildlife in biodiversity hotspots threatened by climate and land use change.
I obtained my bachelor and master in biotechnology from University of Padova, Italy. I obtained my PhD in the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa hosted at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, mentored by Dr. Antonio Alcami. My PhD focused on evolution and immunodynamics of poxviruses. I joined the University of Florida during my postdoctoral training mentored by Dr. Maureen Goodenow and Dr. Marco Salemi.

Research Profile
My research program supports cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of infectious diseases. My area of research is infectious diseases, with emphasis on molecular evolution and host-pathogen interactions. My research spans from large-scale epidemic processes, such as population growth and spatial epidemic dispersal, to small-scale transmission histories; and within-host evolution, including adaptation and recombination.
