Oliver Pybus
Professor of Evolution & Infectious Disease
Research Interests
My research aims to explain the evolutionary dynamics of pathogens, particularly viral infections of humans, including HIV/AIDS, the hepatitis C virus, and Influenza. I hope to understand how evolutionary and ecological processes - which occur on the same timescale for many pathogens - combine and interact in natural populations.
Additional Information: I am Editor-in-Chief of the journal Virus Evolution, published by Oxford University Press. I am also one of the Department of Zoology's Athena Swan Champions.
