We work to understand the dynamics of pathogen spillover from the scale of cells to ecosystems.
By understanding the processes that lead to cross-species transmission, we try to predict spillover events, or better yet, develop sustainable solutions to stop spillover altogether.

Dale Hansen and Trent Bushmaker graduate from MSU!
Dr. Plowright is the PI of multiple projects on pathogen spillover from bats, including the collaboration Bat One Health. Bat OneHealth, is a global team of experts working across multiple scales to learn the causes of spillover and find sustainable solutions that protect future generations from zoonotic disease.
