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 Australasia and the Indo-Pacific. At a fundamental level, research from my lab bring together field work and molecular genetics to answer important questions on which mosquito species transmit disease pathogens, where they exist, why they are there and how populations connect and move. This fundamental work has lead to new and exciting research into mosquito control including using incompatible males for Aedes mosquito control and exploring the idea of developing malaria resistant mosquitoes and driving these traits into a field population.
