Postdoctoral Fellow
Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, Department of Epidemiology

QinQin is a Postdoctoral Fellow interested in understanding how and why pathogens evolve, what effect this has for disease spread, and what interventions can slow the spread of disease. Her current work is on the evolutionary dynamics of N. gonorrhoeae in response to pressures from the host adaptive immune system and equity in wastewater monitoring. QinQin completed her PhD in biophysics at UC Berkeley where she studied the role of…
