Department This is an opportunity to join a large, dynamic research group developing genetic methods for the control of pest insects, especially mosquitoes. The specific project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, aims to develop ‘refractory insects’ - mosquitoes that are less able to transmit specific pathogens, in this case alphaviruses such as chikungunya virus. We are exploring several potential approaches, here primarily focusing on expression - in transgenic mosquitoes - of “dominant negative”…

Almost half of the world’s population is at risk of contracting dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika viruses. These diseases are predominantly transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti and disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries. Dengue alone is estimated to cause around 390 million infections each year. We want to help change that. This Wellcome Trust-funded project aims to overcome a major bottleneck in the development of homing gene drive technology in Aedes aegypti…

Department The successful candidate will join the department of Biology at the University of York, as well as a wider project team working on intergroup conflict in animal societies on this ERC Advanced Grant (UKRI-funded).

Department The aim of the lab, and of this project, is to use insect synthetic biology to develop new, safe, sustainable methods for reducing the harm caused by pest insects, particularly mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease. This position is part of a Gates Foundation-funded project (to end of April 2030) to develop, through synthetic biology, ‘local’ gene drives in the mosquito Anopheles stephensi. RNA-guided gene drive elements could address many ecological problems by altering the traits o…
