Prof. Lemey is Professor with prominent research track record in molecular epidemiology, computational biology and viral evolution. He has studied the evolutionary processes that shape viral genetic diversity, spanning from large-scale epidemic processes, such as population growth and spatial dispersal, to small-scale transmission histories and within-host evolutionary processes. His work has led to important findings of the origin and epidemiology of HIV, the source-sink dynamics of seasonal influenza, rabies metapopulation dynamics, and viral outbreaks such as Ebola and Lassa virus. He has published 186 papers, with >9,000 citations and 47 H-index.
