Maria Anice Mureb Sallum

I am University Professor of Epidemiology, Ecology of Diseases and Culicidae Systematics in the School of Public Health at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. I received my education in Brazil, and in the United States, with post-doctoral studies in molecular phylogeny of Anophelinae at the Natural Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and a one-year position as a Senior Visiting Researcher at The Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit, Suitland, MD. I have a broad background in biology and public health, with specific training and expertise in key research areas for vector-borne diseases, especially those related to fieldwork, species identification and delimitation using morphology and molecular tools. During my university career, I have collaborated with many other researchers, and produced more than 200 peer-reviewed publications from several projects.
