The Beebe Lab
Vector Biology
My lab works across both basic and applied research in vector biology to advanced our understanding of mosquito evolution, species’ distribution and their role in mosquito-borne disease through the Indo-Pacific. At a fundamental level, research outcomes from my lab have answered important questions on which mosquito species transmit disease pathogens, permitting studies into their distribution, biology, ecology and how their populations connect and move. This fundamental work has lead to new and exciting research into mosquito control using 1) incompatible males for Aedes mosquito control and 2) exploring the idea of making malaria mosquitoes refractory to the malaria parasite and the potential to drive these traits into a field population.
