Dr. Felicia Keesing, the David & Rosalie Rose Distinguished Professor of Sciences, Mathematics, and Computing at Bard College, studies the ecology of infectious diseases, focusing on how ecological communities respond to biodiversity changes. She received the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2000.
Dr. Richard Ostfeld, a distinguished senior scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, specializes in the ecology of infectious diseases, particularly Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
His research predicts risks by analyzing factors like tick populations, infection rates, and the effects of land use on species diversity and disease dynamics.
