Research interests:
Insect genomics
Molecular biology and entomology of disease transmitting mosquitoes related to evolution, adaptation and disease control.
Current work is contributing to:
- Novel control strategies based on mosquito mass release such as the Sterile Insect Technique
- Transposable elements, primarily retroposons, their origin, spread and regulation and potential use for population suppression, or as a gene driving mechanism for population replacement
- Insecticide resistance as a biomarker and use in classical genetic sexing.
- Biting nuisance outbreaks in British mosquitoes, their potential role in transmission of emerging diseases and as a model for related disease vectors elsewhere
