Flaminia Catteruccia, a molecular entomologist and new associate professor of immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard School of Public Health, wants to learn everything she can about the reproductive biology of mosquitoes. Her goal is to develop novel methods for mosquito control to reduce the incidence of mosquito-borne malaria, which kills roughly one million people each year and for which no vaccine is yet available. It’s a crucial goal, given that mosquitoes are increasingly resistant to insecticides.
