Description:

Sarah Cobey is a Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. Broadly, the Cobey Lab investigates the coevolution of pathogens and hosts' adaptive immunity. The Cobey Lab uses coputational and mathematical tools to test hypotheses and to advance theory. Their earlier work focused on the evolutionary consequences of immune-mediated competition between different pathogen strains, including pneumococcus, human papillomavirus, and especially influenza.
