Her research focuses on Environmental Medicine, Travel Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and Hygiene, with specific expertise in pathogen profiling, rabies/yellow fever vaccination protocols, and pre-travel health risk assessment. Dr. Zwicker's work directly informs clinical guidelines for international travelers and environmental exposure cases through evidence-based laboratory analysis.
