Learn more about Jacob Cassens

Jacob Cassens is a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health studying tick and tick-borne pathogen biology and molecular epidemiology. Jake works in the Oliver Lab under Dr. Jon Oliver, researching novel surveillance strategies for real-time monitoring of known and putative tick-borne pathogens. Additionally, Jake collaborates with Drs. Christopher Faulk (CFANS) and Peter Larsen (CVM) to investigate tick and tick-borne pathogen genomics. Their work focuses on the molecular mechanisms ticks and tick-borne pathogens leverage to persist in seemingly unsuitable niches. Jake also collaborates with Drs. Bruce Alexander and Jeff Bender to understand tick-borne disease risks among occupationally exposed populations.
