Her molecular epidemiology laboratory located at Greene Hall 251E is focused on understanding contribution of the animal-human-environment interactions on the spread and maintenance of antimicrobial resistance. At her lab, her group explores the effects of policies to reduce antimicrobial use in the food- and companion- animal industries on development of resistance in the environment and the potential of human contamination with resistant pathogens. They use a molecular, epidemiological, socio-economical approach to understand the global implications of antimicrobial resistance in animal, human, and environmental health
