Research Interests

​My research interest is in the field of genetics and genomics of Apicomplexan parasites, in particular the human malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum and the livestock parasite Theileria lestoquardi and T. annulata. I am interested in studies on population genetic structure and evolution of drug resistance.
