Dr. Jean-Paul Joseph Gonzalez joined Metabiota, Inc. as Senior Staff Scientist, perpetuating his expertise on emerging viral disease, biosafety, biosecurity and biosurveillance, mentoring and training young scientists from developing countries. He has published more than 300 scientific papers, chapters and books. His main fields of research encompass the fundamentals and domains of disease emergence, viral disease eco-epidemiology (i.e. arbovirology, viral hemorrhagic fevers). He has led field and laboratory teams of researchers with institutes of country partners, including Brazil, Central African Republic, Gabon, Senegal, Thailand, Laos, among others. He worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and Fort Collins, and as a visiting professor at the Yale University Arbovirus Research Unit, has been involved in high security laboratory practices and research, early development of geographical information systems applied to infectious diseases. He and his teams have identified new pathogens for humans and animals, and have developed tools and strategies for biosurveillance, control and prevention of highly infectious transmitted disease. He has revisited the spread and dynamics of several viral hemorrhagic fevers, giving spatial and temporal dimensions. He has developed several scientific concepts and research strategies for health (e.g.: long lasting co-evolution of germs and hosts).
