Charles Nunn addresses a wide range of questions at the intersections of disease ecology, evolutionary medicine, and global health.  In Madagascar, he investigates how land use change and market integration influences infectious disease dynamics in humans and other animals.  This research focuses on rural areas and addresses global health challenges involving infectious disease, food security, hypertension, and sleep.  In ecological research, Nunn investigates zoonotic disease emergence in humans and the predictors of cross-species transmission.  These projects involve large-scale informatics datasets, including phylogenetic comparative studies and meta-analyses.  In all of these research areas, Nunn takes an interdisciplinary approach to advance evolutionary perspectives on societally important questions, including research in One Health and pandemic prevention.  His research is funded by the NIH, NSF, and other funding agencies.  He is the author of Infectious Diseases of Primates: Behavior, Ecology and Evolution and The Comparative Approach in Evolutionary Anthropology and Biology, along with nearly 200 scientific articles and contributed book chapters.
