Emily M. Webb

Emily M. Webb is an Assistant Professor of Genetics & Molecular Biology at the University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB). She specializes in medical entomology and virology, focusing on combatting neglected and emerging mosquito-borne viruses. Her research emphasizes developing broad-spectrum therapies through cross-reactive immunity studies and enhancing local mosquito surveillance systems in coastal wetlands to prevent disease outbreaks.

• Education: PhD in Medical Entomology from Virginia Tech; BS in Biology from University of South Carolina, Aiken
• Courses Taught: Biological Principles I, Cell & Molecular Biology, Fundamental Genetics, and Independent Study on Emerging Viruses

Her work addresses critical gaps in vector control by monitoring mosquito species distributions and tracking potential pathogens. This research supports early warning systems for disease outbreaks, enabling targeted interventions to protect public health.
