Allan is a professor of Entomology and the associate director for Academic Affairs for the School of Integrative Biology at the University of Illinois. He is broadly interested in the ecology of infectious diseases, particularly diseases transmitted via the bite of an infected arthropod (e.g., ticks and mosquitoes) and has authored approximately 65 publications and multiple reports addressing these topics. He uses various tools in his research, including molecular technologies, remote sensing applications and theoretical modeling. - Related Web Site: Press release
