Erin Johnston is a current PhD student at the University of Glasgow, having completed her masters in One Health research at Utrecht University. Her research focuses on improving our understanding of the epidemiology of Japanese Encephalitis Virus. She has previously worked on a variety of One Health projects, including the spatial ecology of large mammals in Borneo, the impact of changing salinity levels on mosquito larvae in the Netherlands and sequencing rabies virus in India and Malawi. She became a student ambassador to expand her knowledge on global health, keep up to date with new research and join a network of students interested in Global and Tropical Health. Her ultimate goal is to preserve wildlife whilst helping local communities reach better health standards, which she hopes to do through her field research.
