Alison P. Galvani (born ca. 1977) is an American epidemiologist. She is a tenured faculty member at the Yale School of Public Health. She became interested in biology after reading Richard Dawkins' ''The Blind Watchmaker'' in high school. She wrote Dawkins and he replied, encouraging her to apply to Oxford University. She earned a degree in biological sciences from Oxford and continued her studies there, receiving a PhD in theoretical epidemiology. She worked under Australian ecologist Robert May and modelled the "transmission of evolutionary factors in parasitic-worm infections in developing countries." The focus of Galvani's research is the application of evolutionary ecology and epidemiology in the study of diseases. She has published over 135 scholarly articles. Galvani directs the Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis (CIDMA). In 2014 she and her team published a series of papers covering the ongoing Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa. She was named the Burnett and Stender Families Professor of Public Health in 2015. She is the youngest faculty member in Yale School of Medicine's history to be appointed to a named professorship. ==Awards and honors== *2005 – Young Investigator Prize (American Society of Naturalists) *2006 – John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Award *2007 – MacMillan Award *2007 – Institute for Advanced Studies in Berlin fellowship *2012 – Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists〔 *2013 – Bellman Prize 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alison P.
