WELCOME
Welcome to the Escobar Lab, where we study the biogeography, ecology and evolution of infectious diseases across landscapes. Our team integrates fieldwork, molecular biology, and computational approaches to understand pathogen dynamics, host–virus interactions, and the environmental factors that shape disease emergence.
We are committed to collaborative, interdisciplinary science and to training the next generation of researchers. Explore our work, meet our team, and learn about the projects that drive our mission.
Work hard in silence; let your success make the noise!




On behalf of Escobar’s lab, we encourage all lab members to showcase their research and highlight the lab's potential. Connor, Sharif, Reilly, Nine, Diego, Analorena, and Jorge, your efforts are truly commendable.
