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.
Postdoc
I am interested in vector-parasite interactions from an evolutionary ecology perspective, asking how the conditions inside vectors affect parasite fitness, and whether parasites can adapt to maximise their survival and transmission.
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.
