I am investigating the link between DNA polymorphisms in the Aedes aegypti genome and natural variation in vector competence for dengue viruses using a combination of high-throughput sequencing and genetic mapping strategies.

I aim to identify key Aedes aegypti genes controlling transmission of dengue viruses in nature using a genome-wide transcriptional profiling approach (RNA-seq) followed by functional validation of candidate genes.

Aging is marked by declining tissue repair and increased vulnerability to disease. Cellular plasticity is the ability of cells to acquire new identities and adopt alternative fates in response to changing conditions without genetic […]
