Speaker: Raina Plowright, PhD, MS, BVSc, Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Plowright's research develops the science of pandemic prevention through transdisciplinary science leadership and translation. She focuses on four areas of investigation: 

  • mechanisms of cross-species transmission (commonly known as spillover), 
  • how environmental stressors drive spillover events, 
  • the dynamics of viral pathogens in reservoir hosts,
  • and the implementation of ecological interventions to mitigate spillover. 

Her work advances a One Health approach by bridging the best available science in disease dynamics with effective public health practice and meaningful policy. Learn more.
