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 investigating how and why malaria parasites show daily developmental rhythms inside their hosts. I want to know whether parasites use host rhythms to tell the time.
Postdoc
I am interested in how closely-associated organisms with common or competing interests can use timing cues/signals to synchronise their biological rhythmicity.
Research Assistant
I am a postgraduate research assistant 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.
PhD Student
I am a Darwin Trust funded PhD student interested in how circadian rhythms affect interactions between hosts and parasites.
PhD student
I am a Wellcome Trust-funded PhD student investigating the costs and benefits of synchronised parasite replication.
PhD Student
I am a PhD student interested in Host-Parasite interactions. In the lab, we use rodent malaria as a model to answer questions that will help us understand the evolution of different parasites strategies.
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.
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.
