'''postdoctoral project'''


<br>
<br>
I am currently developing an Affymetrix SNP chip for Anopheles gambiae which will interrogate several hundred thousand SNPs. This is in collaboration with Seth Redmond (Imperial) and Danny Park and Dan Neafsey (at the Broad Institute). I will be using this technology to examine the genetic basis of Anopheles susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum (malaria). If this method is successful, I plan to use it to examine genotype*genotype interactions between the vector and the parasite as such interactions have a large impact on the outcome of an infection (Lambrechts et al 2005).
'''Teaching'''

Guest lecturer for the Advanced Topics in Cellular and Molecular Immunology course led by George Christophides.
My lectures are on Population genomics and Genome-wide association studies.
 
Teaching assistant at UCDavis for Population genetics (2003, 2004) and Evolution (2001,2002)


I am also interested in the biology and underlying speciation genetics of the Anopheles gambiae incipient species M and S and understanding the genetic basis of the speciation process, in general.
