Our Team
Principal Investigator (PI)
I am Professor of Evolutionary Parasitology and a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
Postdoc
My research focuses on understanding and predicting how life history strategies enable parasites to quickly respond to disease control methods, and what the consequences are for the efficacy of disease control.
PhD Student
Royal Society funded PhD student investigating the evolutionary potential of malaria parasites to understand how they might counter-evolve strategies to maximise their fitness in the face of changing mosquito ecology due to the sustained use of vector control tools.
PhD student
I am a Darwin Trust funded PhD student investigating the impact of microbial rhythms on the development of malaria parasites and mosquitoes' ability to spread diseases.
PhD Student
I am an EASTBIO-funded PhD student studying the evolutionary ecology of circadian rhythms in malaria parasites.
Research Technician
I am responsible for the maintenance of our mosquito colonies, and much of our animal handling and microscopy for many projects in the lab.
Lab Manager / Postdoc
I am a postdoc with a background in Ecology, Mycology and Entomology. Currently, I am investigating the importance of biological rhythms for the survival and transmission of malaria parasites.
