7 May 2020: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Alex Leitao. Research Interests. I have started my research career by studying the development of immune cells in Drosophila melanogaster. During my PhD, supervised by Elio Sucena, I showed that functional immune cells can

7 May 2020: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Arunkumar Ramesh. Research Interests. I am interested in the genetic architecture of variability in resistance to infection within a population. Why susceptible individuals persist in a population when resistance to

10 May 2020: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Elves Duarte. Research Interests. I am interested in studying the interaction between insects and microorganisms, namely between mosquitoes and the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia. The ultimate goal is to establish

10 May 2020: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Dominique Ding. Research Interests. I am a PhD candidate in the group. My current project has been on the evolution of Drosophila immunity through changes in gene expression. We hope to unveil the roles of regulatory

10 May 2020: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Gaspar Bruner. Research Interests. I am broadly interested in symbiotic interactions, partially in tropical insects. My main interest is to understand how mutualist or parasitic partners affect the behavior, ecology and
