Nasreen Zeeba Broomand is a Researcher in the Department of Biology at the University of Vermont, affiliated with the Lauterbur EvoEco Lab. She holds a PhD from UC Santa Cruz (2024) and specializes in pathogen paleogenomics and ancient DNA studies. Her work integrates archaeology, microbiology, and evolutionary perspectives to investigate how pathogens carried by rodents impact ecological invasion dynamics in New England. She explores emerging diseases, zoonotic transmission, and the ecological impacts of invasive species.
Her research focuses on understanding historical and contemporary roles of pathogens in shaping rodent invasion success, combining genomic and ecological approaches. While no specific articles are listed here, her work bridges evolutionary biology with applied ecological questions. She is actively involved in lab-based studies and fieldwork related to disease ecology.
Outside academia, she enjoys outdoor activities like backpacking, creative hobbies such as baking and arts & crafts, and spending time with her pets.
