Last week I presented my research at the 4th International Meeting on Arboviruses and their Vectors (IMAV 2026) in Liverpool, and it was a privilege I won't forget.

My talk covered part of my PhD work: can Anopheles mosquitoes act as secondary vectors for arboviruses, beyond their well-known role in malaria transmission?

If you're working in this space, looking for a PDRA or curious about collaborating let's talk.

Climate change could push L. shannoni — a sand fly linked to VSV and Leishmania — into the NE USA and Atlantic Canada.
Using MaxEnt modeling, we mapped future risks for human and animal health.

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

With @megyounger.bsky.social's lab, et al., we present the first connectomics work in the disease-vector mosquito Aedes aegypti, revealing how its brain is wired to detect host cues.

Diagrams (top-left) of an adult female Ae. aegypti head and (bottom) a basiconic sensillum on maxillary palp (gray) which contain dendritic processes of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), including CO2-sensitive Gr3-expressing OSNs. OSN axons project centrally to the antennal lobes in the brain. On the right is a volumetric rendering of the mosquito brain neuropils including the antennal lobes (light blue) (Heinze et al., 2021; Matthews et al., 2019). Scale bar 100 μm.
