Senior Investigator
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)/National Institutes of Health (NIH), MD, United States
Elodie Ghedin, PhD is a Senior Investigator, and Chief of the Systems Genomics Section, as well as Deputy Chief of the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. In May 2020 she joined the NIH from New York University where she was Director of the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology and Professor of Biology and Global Public Health. Her laboratory uses comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and systems biology techniques to generate critical insight about host-pathogen interactions. Dr. Ghedin studies microbial and viral population structures, and how these impact host response to infection and emerging infectious diseases. Her research focuses on characterizing influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 diversity within and across infected hosts, and the interactions of microbes (bacterial, fungal, and viral) in the respiratory tract, to better understand the dynamics of virus evolution and transmission.
Dr. Ghedin obtained her BSc and PhD from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She has also previously held faculty positions at the Institute for Genomic Research (now the J. Craig Venter Institute) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She is a MacArthur Foundation Fellow (2011), a Kavli Frontier of Science Fellow (2012), and an American Academy of Microbiology Fellow (2017).
