I am a molecular biologist trying to manipulate the biology of the mosquitoes in ways that can interfere with their ability to transmit disease. I work mostly on the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the main vector of the most severe form of human malaria in Africa. I am applying this work in the fields of genetic control, such as gene drive, and in understanding the genetics of insecticide resistance.

Since January 2019 I have taken up a position at group leader at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine but I will continue to hold an honorary appointment at Imperial to maintain some of my research and teaching interests there.
