New guest researcher: Nita Bharti
Nita Bharti, Associate Professor of Biology at Penn State University (Nita Bharti | The Huck Institutes (en-US) (psu.edu), will visit us from August 14th to September 8th.
Nita Bharti’s research focuses on the impact of human movement and behavior on the spread and prevention of infectious diseases. She is particularly interested in the social and environmental factors that increase vulnerability and health inequities around infectious processes. During her time at PANSOC, she will be working to understand the root causes of health inequities in respiratory viruses. She will also be exploring biases and gaps in surveillance data, which obscure health inequities and delay their detection.”
