​I am an ecologist broadly interested in interactions between hosts, symbionts and their environment.  My research couples fieldwork and molecular approaches to examine the evolution of host-symbiont associations, test how parasite infection impacts host and microbiome function, and explore how disease dynamics change in human altered-landscapes.

The Weinstein Lab will be opening at Utah State University in Fall 2022!
I am currently looking for masters and PhD students. Please contact me at sara.weinstein[at]usu.edu with inquiries.
