Cecile Viboud is a native of France, where she received an engineer degree in biomedical technologies from Lyon University (1998) and a Master of Public Health (1999) and PhD in Biomathematics (2003) from the University of Paris. Her research focuses on the transmission dynamics and mortality burden of influenza. She is working at the interface between disease modeling, empirical data, evolutionary genetics, and public health. Her work has helped revisit historical pandemics in Europe, Asia, and the Americas; characterized the spatial and temporal transmission dynamics of epidemic and pandemic influenza; and quantified the benefits of various vaccination strategies in low- and high-income countries. She is looking forward to applying the analytical methods developed for influenza to the study of other acute viral infections.

Position
Collaborating Scientist
Other Affiliation(s)
Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Public Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University
Research Interests
- Investigating how the interaction of noise and non-linear density-dependent feedback drive population processes at different scales
- Understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of infectious disease and how these are affected by control strategies
- Phylodynamics: exploring how pathogen phylogenies are affected by host immunity, transmission bottlenecks and epidemic dynamics — at scales from individual host to population.

Position
Post-doctoral Scientist
Research Interests
My research explores the interaction between the evolutionary dynamics of key pathogens, particularly influenza A virus, and their epidemiology and spatial dissemination in a range of human, other mammalian, and avian species. All work is highly collaborative in nature, including molecular biologists, veterinarians, physicians, and bioinformatics specialists from all major continents.

Position
Post-doctoral Fellow Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the factors driving transmission and disease patterns amongst pneumococcal serotypes and undertsanding how influenza and other respiratory viruses might impact these patterns. I have ongoing collaborations with epidemiologists and microbiologists in the US, Denmark, and The Netherlands exploring these questions.
