The Machado Lab is led by Gustavo Machado, an associate professor at the North Carolina State University, College of Veterinary Medicine at the Department of Population Health and Pathobiology, with an affiliation with the Center for Geospatial Analytics.

I am an Associate Professor of Transboundary disease epidemiology in the Population Health and Pathobiology department, and is also affiliated with the Biomathematics graduate program and with the Center for Geospatial Analytics at NCSU. I am an infectious disease modeler with expertise in food animal production epidemiology and the development of novel disease control strategies at multiple scales to reduce the burden of endemic and emerging diseases. I have worked on several aspects of disease modeling approaches, including the development of mathematical models fitted to actual population, animal, and vehicle movement data, and modeling the epidemiology and disease spread dynamics of several animal diseases, including African swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. I have experience in the regulatory aspects of disease control work nationally and internationally, including Brazil. At NC State University, I teach courses on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. My research laboratory specializes in mathematical models of livestock diseases and develops novel strategies for their control and elimination. We engage with and provide training for government and industry stakeholders and academics nationally and internationally.
