Janey”s research interests lie at the intersection of geography, epidemiology, and public health, with a particular focus on understanding the spatial dynamics of infectious diseases. She has a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to addressing pressing health challenges through her work. Practically, she seeks to unravel the complex interactions between human populations, environmental factors, and disease transmission by employing statistical modeling techniques and geographic information systems (GIS) to map and analyze patterns and drivers of disease spread. Her expertise extends to a wide range of infectious diseases, yet with a primary emphasis on vector-borne illnesses. The ultimate aim is to inform effective strategies for disease control and prevention at a variety of scales.
