Hi! I’m Verity and I’m a genomic epidemiologist, phylogeneticist and evolutionary biologist, with a focus on RNA viruses of public health importance.

I currently work as an Associate Research Scientist (senior postdoc) in Nate Grubaugh’s lab at the Yale School of Public Health on arboviruses, but particularly Dengue. I’ve also worked on the SARS-CoV-2 response in the UK, and developed a (massively overcomplicated) agent based model for Ebola virus in Sierra Leone.

To see where I’ve been and what I do, take a look at my CV and selected publications
