Summary
Angela Mclaughlin is a postdoctoral fellow with eight years of experience at the intersection of genomic epidemiology, viral phylogenetics, and statistical data visualization, currently researching influenza A host specificity and interspecies transmission across Dalhousie University and University of Guelph. She combines computational methods—multi-label machine learning and phylogeography—with field-scale surveillance insights from her work at Environment and Climate Change Canada to inform public health and conservation strategies. Her background spans infectious disease genomics (HIV, SARS-CoV-2) and hands-on wet-lab and process development in stem cell and bioproduction settings, giving her an uncommon blend of experimental and analytic expertise. Angela has built reproducible analytical pipelines to handle millions of viral genomes and used stochastic epidemic simulations to evaluate interventions, demonstrating a strong focus on scalable, data-driven inference. Based in Vancouver, she translates complex genomic data into actionable surveillance intelligence and policy-relevant results.
