Elaine is interested in studying how the mosquito microbiome can affect Anopheles vector competence and fecundity.
Esrah Du
Esrah is interested in studying the basic biology of mosquito stage Plasmodium falciparum in order to identify novel targets that inhibit parasite development.
Malhar Khushu
Malhar is interested in studying the transition of Plasmodium falciparum parasites from the mosquito to the human host and investigating the liver stage biology of the parasite in vitro.
Yulian Mercado
ulian is particularly interested in the role of nutrients in mosquitos that favor the growth of Plasmodium falciparum. He is also interested in novel vector-parasite interactions occurring between Rhodnius prolixus and Trypanosoma spp.
Alexandra Probst
Alli is interested in identifying and characterizing mosquito stage Plasmodium targets that are particularly vulnerable to transmission blocking strategies.
Bailey Willett
Bailey is interested in mosquito sensory systems and their role in reproduction and vectorial capacity. She is also interested in how insect repellents impact mosquito biology.
