Dr Nuno Faria

I investigate the epidemiology and evolution of rapidly evolving viruses circulating in human, vector and animal populations. I am also interested in strengthening the scientific evidence base for public health surveillance to enhance the capacity of the research and health systems, and to prepare for current and future outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging arboviruses.
