My name is Kathryn Dalton and I am a public health veterinary researcher. I received my veterinary medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania and my MPH and PhD from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow, in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering.
My research interests involve exploring the microbial dynamics that occur as a result of human and animal interactions, with a focus on how microbial communities are transmitted among humans, animals, and the environment, and how microbial community profiles relate to human health and animal health outcomes. My work uses the tools of environmental microbiology and molecular epidemiology to evaluate the role of the environment in diseases of both humans and animals. My long-term goal is to establish an independent research laboratory at an academic institution to conduct high quality scientific studies focused on One Health, which is the intersection of human and animal health, and the health of their shared environment.
