Maya Groner is a disease ecologist. She has a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh and has completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. As part of the Herring Research and Monitoring Program, her current research integrates mathematical population models and experiments to understand the influence of disease on Pacific herring populations.
