Cat Lippi, MFASHello! My name is Cat Lippi, and I'm a graduate student at the University of Florida pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Medical Geography under the guidance of Dr. Sadie Ryan. Most of my scientific background is in wildlife ecology and conservation science, and I spent many years working in research laboratories and natural history museum collections. After receiving my master's degree at UF, I decided to pursue advanced biostatistical training in the Epidemiology Department at the University of South Florida. As a result the focus of my work and research has shifted to the realm of public health issues, where I can use my training as a biologist to solve problems related to vector-borne diseases.

The Ryan Lab |
"We work on ecology at the human interface, and its implications for disease, conservation, sustainability, and wildlife management. Our interdisciplinary work incorporates tools from medical geography, quantitative and applied ecology, and the social sciences. We use techniques from the lab to the field to the computer to the white board."

Emerging Pathogens Institute |
The Emerging Pathogens Institute was created in 2006 to provide a world-class research environment to facilitate interdisciplinary studies of emergence and control of human, animal and plant pathogens of concern to Florida, to the nation and to the world.
