1 Nov 2014: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Daniel Fabian. Research Interests. I am interested in the genetic basis of traits and the selective mechanisms causing adaptation, particularly in the context of immunity and life history. To study these topics I am using

9 Sep 2010: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Anastasia Fytrou. Research Interests. Natasa is interested in the evolution of host-parasite interactions, using Drosophila and parasitic wasps as a model system to investigate the genetic determination of resistance. Her

9 Sep 2010: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Dr Lena Wilfert. Research Interests. Lenas research focuses on the evolution of host-parasite interactions. She is particularly interested in the maintenance of genetic variation and recombination in natural populations, two

9 Apr 2013: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Fergal Waldron. Research Interests. It is of major biological interest to uncover the extent to which genetic variation influences host susceptibility and pathogen virulence and also the degree to which evolution can create

12 Apr 2011: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Dr Punita Juneja. Research Interests. I am broadly interested in the genetic basis and evolution of adaptive traits. For my PhD, I studied short term evolution of the immune response of Drosophila melanogaster and addressed

8 Mar 2017: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Julien Martinez. Research Interests. I have a broad interest in evolutionary biology and specifically in host-symbiont coevolution. My current research focuses on the association between the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia

22 Feb 2016: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Ben Longdon. Research Interests. I have a broad interest in host-parasite ecology and evolution. My current interest focuses on how parasites switch between host species, what factors affect the ability of parasites to

12 Jan 2015: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Helen Leggett. Research Interests. I work on the evolutionary ecology of microbes by primarily studying evolution in real-time in controlled lab experiments (experimental evolution) with various strains of bacteria

12 Jun 2014: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. William J. Palmer. Research Interests. My current research seeks to understand the variation seen in the innate immune system of insects and assessing to what extent pathogens and the environment are responsible for shaping

9 Sep 2010: The Jiggins Lab Webpage. Dr Jenny Bangham. Research Interests. In nature, there is a great deal of genetic variation for susceptibility to pathogens, and this has implications for medicine, agriculture, and evolution. Finding the genes responsible
