Gregory Dwyer is a Professor at the University of Chicago, specializing in ecology and evolution with a focus on host-pathogen dynamics. He employs mathematical modeling to explore how variations in host populations can affect pathogen epidemics and subsequently how pathogen evolution is influenced by these dynamics. His work notably includes the study of insect pathogens, which are critical in preventing forest destruction and are a significant factor in new ecological and economic projects regarding biological control and the impacts of climate change on insect outbreaks. Dwyer holds a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Washington and a B.A. in Biology from Cornell University. He has been recognized with several awards, including the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2014. His research has garnered substantial funding, including an NIH grant focusing on natural selection and host-pathogen interactions, highlighting his role as a principal investigator.
