Background

About Andrew Fleming

Physician, clinical researcher, and educator in the fields of infectious disease and immunology, with special interests in vaccine development, zoonotic infections, virology, and global health. Experienced in clinical trials involving vaccines and anti-infectives. Passionate about complex macroscopic questions such as why and how zoonotic virus spillover occurs, how such events can be anticipated, and the public health interventions that can prevent them. I am deeply interested in solutions that address not only individual health but also environmental and animal health using a One Health approach. Enthusiastic teacher of infectious disease and immunology to physicians-in-training and medical students. Skilled at communicating about infectious diseases topics to the general public through various forms of outreach such as radio and podcasts. My teaching strategies are shaped by reflections on cognitive biases and epistemology. I value intellectual humility and probabilistic thinking. My professional identity is inseparable from my personal identity as a husband, father, herbivore, environmentalist, and Zen practitioner.
