Holly C. Tuten is an Associate Research Scientist at the University of Illinois, specializing in vector ecology and medical entomology. Her research focuses on invertebrate vectors, particularly the surveillance of vector-borne pathogens in Illinois. Tuten has contributed to the development of the Illinois Statewide Tick Surveillance Program and the BiteMap project, which collect data on mosquitoes and ticks to inform vector control strategies. Her integrated research approach combines molecular analyses, organismal experimentation, and mathematical modeling to better understand arthropod vectors and their role in disease transmission. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and both a Master of Science and Ph.D. in Entomology from Clemson University. Over the years, Tuten has held postdoctoral positions in American Samoa and Switzerland focused on biological control of insect vectors. Her professional interests encompass animal behavior, ecology, invasive species biology, and science communication.
