Amandine Gamble is an infectious disease ecologist leading wildlife health research and training as an Assistant Professor in Cornell University’s Department of Public & Ecosystem Health. Her work aims to unravel how different species or individuals influence pathogen dynamics in ecosystems. Whether it’s determining the populations that fuel the spread of a virus or uncovering those that ensure its persistence, addressing these questions is critical for developing more targeted and sustainable strategies to manage infectious threats. Her research blends theory with field investigations and experiments and spans across ecosystems, from peridomestic wildlife in the USA to remote seabird colonies of the Southern Ocean, where she has been working over the past eight years. Her most recent work focuses on avian influenza in marine birds and mammals of the Antarctic region, where her team is working to better understand the transmission dynamics of the virus in these remote environments to mitigate its impact.
