Research Interests

I have broad research interests in ecological and evolutionary aspects of parasitic organisms and host-parasite interactions, which I explore using theoretical modelling, meta-analyses and experiments. My recent research topics include: parasite sociality; evolution of MHC diversity; patterns and mechanisms of parasite biodiversity; virulence evolution; and evolution of immune regulatory systems. For my PhD in the Mideo Group, I’m hoping to understand the evolution of parasite plasticity and its clinical and epidemiological consequences. Please visit my website for more details.
