معرفی
Marlene Wolfe is an Assistant Professor in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. As an environmental microbiologist, engineer, and epidemiologist, her work focuses on using environmental pathogen detection for population health surveillance and evaluating interventions to reduce pathogenic exposures in low-resource/emergency settings.
- BA, Stanford University
- MSc, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
- PhD, Tufts University
Her research interests span environmental microbiology, infectious disease surveillance, WASH interventions, and public health analytics. The Wolfe Lab develops mixed-methods approaches to validate laboratory findings in real-world contexts, particularly for respiratory and enteric pathogens.
Recent article trends show specialization in wastewater-based epidemiology for SARS-CoV-2 variants, norovirus, RSV, dengue, and other pathogens. Methodologies include RNA quantification, variant tracking, and cross-referencing wastewater data with clinical prevalence patterns.
