Asena Goren

I am a PhD candidate investigating the spread of Lyme disease into northern latitudes. My academic and public service background includes the development of analytical and modelling techniques in multiple fields, including caribou population health, starch biochemistry, and fungal biology. My current research focuses on developing a deeper understanding of Lyme disease dynamics through investigating pathogen-vector-host interactions in a changing climate at the edge of the pathogen’s biogeographical range.
