Daniel earned his PhD from the University of Georgia, where he focused on resource provisioning, wildlife disease, and vampire bat immunology and epidemiology. He is interested in how food availability affects wildlife–pathogen interactions, linking within- and between-host infection processes, and how these perspectives can be applied to predicting spillover of zoonotic pathogens from wild bats and birds. Daniel is a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c6ab92e4b09a215f79e469/1506357251707-ZMCGLHU4SQ0B1LW45E6B/Katie.jpg Lab Alumni - Katie Haase As a Postdoctoral Rsearcher, Katie work on white-nose syndrome (WNS) using a mechanistic survivorship model based on the host bioenergetics, the growth of the pathogen that causes WNS, and the changing environment. By collecting baseline morphometric and energetic data from at least 5 bat species and microclimate data from across the western U.S., Katie and her collaborators evaluated the presence of WNS and determined areas of risk and refugia.

The processes that he has studied are mostly related to the effects of climate on Hendra virus survival and on the fruit bat hosts of the virus. Gerardo is with the London Centre for Neglected Tropical Disease Research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c6ab92e4b09a215f79e469/1509669378380-PET521KWH67C6IU8F57W/17311143_1724817990865607_7399199277082976633_o+%281%29.jpg Lab Alumni - Ellie Poteat Ellie was an undergraduate at MSU studying microbiology. She worked in the Voyich lab investing NET release with different point mutations of S. aureus. She was interested in looking at the spillover dynamics of Hendra virus from bats to horses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c6ab92e4b09a215f79e469/1506440541005-2LO4IIT1CDF8NFSUKCS8/Daniela.jpg Lab Alumni - Daniela Weber As an undergraduate, Daniela worked with Dr. Raina Plowright and Dr. Jovanka Voyich to investigate mechanisms driving chronic carriage in bighorn sheep.
