BIO

I studied Plant Pathology at the University of Wageningen, The Netherlands, before embarking on a PhD in molecular virology at the John Innes Institute in Norwich. After a couple of postdocs in virology in INRA Versailles and IVEM Oxford, respectively, I got involved with malaria research at Imperial College London. The recipient of a Wellcome Trust University Award I obtained an Associate Professor position at the LSHTM, which I started in the autumn of 2005.
