BIO
I graduated with a degree in Marine Biology and then completed a PhD on the Population genetics of the scallop Pecten maximus at the University of Wales, Bangor. I then worked on the evolutionary genetics of periwinkle snails at the University of Leeds for 7 years, before moving to Westlakes Research Institute in Cumbria where I spent 4 years investigating human radiobiological genetics and genetic biomarkers of radiation exposure. In 2006, I moved to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine to investigate the genetic mechanisms of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes, before joining LJMU as a Lecturer in 2013, becoming programme leader in 2020. I joined UCD in 2024.
