The effect of population structure on the evolutionary dynamics of HIV

Katrina is interested in applying ecological and evolutionary theory to better predict the evolutionary dynamics of infectious disease in humans and other species, with the ultimate aim of informing public health decisions. Her current research is focused on the within- and between-host evolution of HIV and – in particular – on the consequences of population structure on the evolutionary dynamics of the virus. Katrina is a member of the Evolutionary Epidemiology Group within the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London. Before re-entering active research she was the Editor of the journal 'Trends in Ecology of Evolution'. She has two young children.
