Welcome to Dr. Mayank Gangwar and farewell to Gabby Johnson! It has been an excellent summer in the lab. Mayank has joined to work on the transmission dynamics of multi-host zoonotic pathogens. And it was a pleasure to host Gabby, a Swarthmore College senior, as she worked on modeling the species richness of SARS-CoV-2 susceptible mammals.
