Elise is interested in animal ecology, evolution, health, and conservation with a focus on the overlap between anthropogenic change and infectious disease in primates. Elise graduated from the University of Notre Dame in Spring 2020 where she majored in Biological Sciences. Her undergraduate research as part of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project focused on the drivers and consequences of human encounters in the Amboseli baboons. Elise’s research in the Yoder Lab will focus on the intersection between lemur, human, and environmental health using a One Health framework.
