My work since then has covered both vectors and pathogens, revolving around the use of genomics to inform disease control: developing molecular and sequence based techniques to track transmission intensity and identify resistance factors which directly affect disease control. I’m continuing to take these approaches in the Grubaugh lab and the Pathogen Genomics Center of Excellence on both vector-borne and respiratory pathogens.
Outside of work I enjoy trail running, snowboarding, and have a large collection of niche sports equipment I should really stop buying. I also enjoy visiting art galleries, watching moody films, getting to Liverpool FC games whenever I can, and making coffee with a degree of rigour and precision which belies how inept I was in the lab.
