About the Translational Infectious Disease Eco-epidemiology (TIDE) lab
The TIDE lab is based in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. We are a highly interdisciplinary team, with backgrounds and interests spanning infectious disease ecology, epidemiology, modeling/data science, and clinical research. We also collaborate locally and internationally across disciplines. Our research takes place at the human-animal-environmental interface and aims to help local and international decision-makers, including clinicians and public health experts.

About Seth Judson MD, MHS
I am an infectious disease physician-scientist who is passionate about safeguarding human, animal, and planetary health. As an Assistant Professor-in-Residence at UCLA, my research and clinical interests are at the nexus of emerging zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, One Health/planetary health, and pandemic preparedness.
The overall goal of my work is to improve early detection and mitigation of zoonotic and vector-borne disease outbreaks. This requires translating field, laboratory, and clinical data into actionable tools for decision-makers. Thus, my experience and training spans disease ecology, epidemiology, virology, and clinical medicine at the human-animal-environmental interface. I collaborate locally and globally across disciplines and lead an interdisciplinary group, the Translational Infectious Disease Eco-epidemiology (TIDE) lab.
