Prof David Hayman BVMS, MSc, PhD, MRCVS
Group Leader - Academic (LM)
Doctoral Supervisor School of Veterinary ScienceI use multidisciplinary approaches (including molecular, serological, quantitative and phylogenetic techniques) to address how infectious diseases are maintained within their hosts and how the process of emergence occurs. More generally, I am interested in how ecological degradation and anthropogenic changes lead to increased pathogen emergence in humans and animals and how multi-disciplinary research can work to improve human and ecological health.
I am the Percival Carmine Chair in Epidemiology and Public Health and Professor of Infectious Disease Ecology and Co-Director of the mEpiLab, a molecular epidemiology and public health lab, and Director of IDReC, a virtual lab at Massey University.
My research focuses on developing research programmes that improve public health and wildlife conservation outcomes, which often means working at the interface between disciplines.
