Could hacking a tick’s biology help prevent the next outbreak? In this episode of the YJBM, we sit down with Emily Johnson to travel across the scale of life, all the way from the environment that surrounds us to a molecular pathway called kinase signaling. We dive into the fundamentals of vector biology and the transmission of diseases like Lyme. We also discuss the tools and technologies driving the field forward, from mRNA vaccines to the potential of AI, and what the future holds for understanding disease and transmission through the lens of signaling pathways.

In this episode of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine Podcast, our hosts dive into the profound and often overlooked consequence of global warming: the rising threat of emerging diseases. Join us as we uncover the intricate relationship between climate change and the proliferation of new, potentially deadly illnesses. We’ll explore how shifts in temperature, habitat disruption, and the movement of disease vectors are paving the way for previously unknown health risks, and how we as a society should adapt to these new risks.
