个人简介

It was during my first degree in Biological Sciences at Westfield College, University of London, that I became interested in parasitology. My Ph.D. research at Queen Mary College, University of London, focused on the ecological adaptations of monogenean parasites. After two post-doctoral positions at the MRC in Nottingham (with Prof. Karen Steel) and the University of Bristol (with Prof. Richard Tinsley), I moved to Cardiff in 1999 to work on a range of projects concerned with host-parasite interactions, particularly monogenean reproduction and, more recently, population genetics. I have held three Research Fellowships, including a current NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) Advanced Fellowship, and in 2008 I was promoted to Reader.

研究领域

I have diverse research interests in the ecological adaptations of host-parasite systems. Specifically: Life history traits (transmission dynamics, host specificity, virulence and reproduction) of parasites and their impact on host fitness. Host genetic diversity and parasite resistance. Parasite molecular taxonomy and epidemiology.
