Rate My Professor Nuno Faria

Faria contributes to teaching on MSc Epidemiology programmes at Imperial College London, the University of Oxford, and the University of São Paulo, and supervises PhD students at these institutions as well as international workshops. His high-impact publications have shaped the field of viral phylodynamics and genomic epidemiology. Notable works include 'Genomics and epidemiology of the P.1 SARS-CoV-2 lineage in Manaus, Brazil' (Science, 2021), which detailed the emergence of the P.1 variant; 'The effect of human mobility and control measures on the COVID-19 epidemic in China' (Science, 2020); 'Zika virus in the Americas: early epidemiological and genetic findings' (Science, 2016); 'Establishment and cryptic transmission of Zika virus in Brazil and the Americas' (Nature, 2017); 'Past and future spread of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus' (Nature Microbiology, 2019); and 'The early spread and epidemic ignition of HIV-1 in human populations' (Science, 2014). These papers, among others, have amassed over 30,000 citations, underscoring his influence on understanding viral epidemics and informing public health responses, such as real-time genomic surveillance during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
