Jessica Metcalf

Jessica Metcalf is an ecologist and epidemiologist who studies how human behaviors, cultural practices, and social factors influence the spread of infectious diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Her work combines field research with data analysis to understand disease transmission patterns, aiming to improve public health interventions and vaccination strategies. By exploring the social contexts that affect health outcomes, Metcalf helps develop more effective methods to control and prevent diseases, ultimately contributing to better health and disease management worldwide.
