Luis E. Escobar

A key component of my research is developing theory and methods to study the biogeography of infectious diseases. I apply these to disease biogeography, disease ecology, and invasion biology. My work includes field and laboratory studies, and data analysis. Thanks to my past and current collaborations I have a broad academic network. Working as part of multidisciplinary teams and strong interests in understanding the ecology of diseases are the base of my research. I believe in big collaborative research, so please contact me if you want to develop a fun project with us.

When I am not doing science I enjoy reading, swimming, and doing outdoor activities. I also love cooking Guatemalan food and taking care of the garden.
