معرفی
Kirstin Roster is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Grad Lab within the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, focusing on the evolution and spread of pathogens. She specializes in computational and experimental approaches to antimicrobial resistance, particularly in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and contributes to public health strategies for infectious disease control.
Her research integrates interdisciplinary methods such as population genomics, mathematical modeling, and microbial genetics to analyze drug-resistant infections and optimize surveillance systems. As a lead author in recent studies published in PLOS Computational Biology and American Journal of Epidemiology, she investigates the dynamics of sexually transmitted infections and the impact of antibiotic use on resistance trends.
The Grad Lab, where she works, collaborates with clinical and public health institutions to advance diagnostics, therapeutics, and policy frameworks. The lab emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, combining expertise in microbiology, applied mathematics, and epidemiology to address global health challenges.
