I am a Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I co-direct the Health Security PhD track. My background is in immunology, with training and experience at Indiana University, Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins, and the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). My work focuses on minimizing the technical and social risks of the life sciences while advancing biosecurity, biosafety, ethics, and the bioeconomy. I have served on advisory committees for the Department of Defense, State Department, and National Institutes of Health, and am a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

I am committed to evidence-based policy and to advancing science as a solution to the health, security, and environmental challenges we face.
