Summary
Clifton Mckee is a disease ecologist and Research Associate at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with nine years of experience studying infectious disease dynamics at the human-animal interface. He completed a Ph.D. and M.S. in Ecology at Colorado State University after dual undergraduate degrees in Ecology & Evolution and Environmental Studies, and has a strong track record of field and lab work on pathogens such as Bartonella and West Nile virus. Clifton’s work spans quantitative disease ecology, pathogen diversity in wildlife (notably African fruit bats), and applied surveillance through collaborations with the CDC’s Division of Vector-Borne Diseases. He combines rigorous academic research with hands-on laboratory and teaching experience, having supported courses from ornithology to molecular genetics. Based in Baltimore, he brings both deep ecological theory and practical public-health perspective to interdisciplinary problems in zoonotic disease emergence.
