Tatiana Henry, DVM, MPVM is a PhD student in Epidemiology at UC Davis studying wildlife epidemiology with a focus on zoonotic and vector-borne disease. She received her DVM and International Veterinary Medicine PGCert from the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. Following post-graduate clinical internships in small animal and avian/exotic animal medicine and surgery, she earned her Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine (MPVM) degree at UC Davis before continuing on to her PhD program. She is currently a UC Davis Comparative Medical Scientist Training Program T32 trainee. Her research in the Smiley Lab, in partnership with Gorilla Doctors, the World Bank Pandemic Fund, UC Davis One Health Institute, and CREID EpiCenter for Emerging Infectious Disease Intelligence, centers around viral zoonotic and vector-borne diseases of public health concern and pandemic potential. Her current work includes serosurveillance, spatial epidemiologic modeling, and risk assessment for various zoonoses in nonhuman primates and people living within the Greater Virunga Landscape and Peru. Tatiana is passionate about using a One Health approach to improve our ability to detect, model, and mitigate infectious disease spillover risks occurring at human-wildlife interfaces around the globe, particularly those posing threats to both nonhuman primate conservation and global health.
