Regoes, Roland, Dr.

I joined the Theoretical Biology group of Sebastian Bonhoeffer in 2005 as a senior postdoc.

I was born in Budapest in 1971. I did my undergraduate degree in physics at Munich University. After my diploma in 1996, I switched to theoretical biology. I studied with Martin Nowak at Oxford University for a MSc degree and with Sebastian Bonhoeffer at the ETH Zurich for a PhD. From 2001 until 2005 I worked with Rustom Antia, Silvija Staprans, Mark Feinberg, and Bruce Levin at Emory University.

My research focuses on the population biology of infectious diseases. I use mathematical models to address questions that concern mostly the within-host dynamics of pathogens --- how they replicate, how they ellicit immune responses and how they are controlled. I focus on HIV, SIV and LCMV infections, but have also been studying poliovirus, CMV, influenza virus and E. coli.
I am also interested in the between-host dynamics and the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite systems. In this context, I am currently most interested in how new infectious diseases emerge.
