| Description | Angela McLean is distinguished for fundamental insights into dynamical events when infections spread within infected individuals and also when infections pass between individuals. Her work in epidemiology includes producing the first mathematical models of the evolution and emergence of vaccine resistant strains of infectious agents. She has also made fundamental contributions in theoretical immunology. Her analyses of lymphocyte dynamics demonstrated the importance of understanding the demography of human immune cells and established a burgeoning field in experimental and theoretical work in the subject. Her recent work develops innovative models that simultaneously address the within-host dynamics and the epidemiology of infections |
