研究领域

My research focuses on the application of evolutionary genomics and molecular ecology of parasitic helminths and their intermediate mollusc hosts, with particular focus on schistosomes and the zoonotic disease schistosomiasis. This is also coupled with the application molecular techniques of identification of invasive zoonotic flukes in Europe and the UK. My research utilises genomic data to develop markers to answer population genetic and taxonomic questions to inform disease epidemiology and control. Current projects range from using standard molecular bar-coding techniques to the generation of genomic data sets using next generation sequencing to mining genome assemblies and encompassing phylogenetic and population genetic methods
