Postdoctoral Fellow

Kelsey investigates the impact of insecticide resistance on the Anopheles mosquito mating behavior and malaria vectorial capacity.

Emre investigates the role of Juvenile Hormone in mediating mosquito tissue development during the adult post-eclosion phase. He is interested in understanding how the mosquito maturation process impacts reproduction, immunity and behavioral processes for the advancement of a novel mosquito control tool.

Federico’s research focuses on the discovery of new anti-malarial drugs and new malaria transmission blocking interventions.

Laura studies the interactions of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and its Anopheles mosquito host regarding nutrient uptake and metabolism.

Lisa is interested in Plasmodium sporozoites biology, in particular their interaction with both mosquito and human hosts as well as the determinants in human infection.

Shifan investigates the signaling transduction of mosquito steroid hormones and the mechanism for tolerating malaria parasites.

Yan investigates the mechanism regulating the trade-offs between mosquito reproduction and immunity. She is interested in how these trade-offs affect malaria parasite development and transmission.
