Potdoctoral Fellow, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research

Research Interests:

My research interests lie in West African archaeology and ethnohistory; palynology and archaeobotany. I study preserved pollen and spores (pteridophyte and fungal) within and outside archaeological contexts to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment of the tropics and understand human-environment interactions, landscape evolution and plants exploited in the past. I also have an interest in public/community archaeology.

Research Interests:

My lab studies the two-way communication that exists between plant parasitic nematodes and the plant hosts they infect. We aim to decipher the molecular mechanisms that underpin pathogen virulence and host resistance/susceptibility to develop targeted control measures to help mitigate the impact imparted by these devastating parasites.

Research Interests:

I lead a multidisciplinary group focused on understanding the biology and genetic diversity of parasitic worms that infect humans and animals. We use a range of genomic approaches, from single cells to surveys of global populations, to characterise phenotypic and genotypic diversity, and build genomic resources to support researchers worldwide. We aim to use this information to improve the control of helminths as a public and animal health problem. We collaborate broadly, and are currently working with partners in Kenya, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Ghana.

Research Interests:

Cate's current research interests include the structural and electronic characterisation of nanostructured metal oxides and semiconductors. In particular she is studying the growth and properties of nanostructured materials used in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical cells (batteries for energy storage and solar cells for energy harvesting), as well as photocatalytic systems for air and water purification.

Current African links: I collaborate with Mr Henry Agbe, Lecturer at the All Nations University College (ANUC), Koforidua, Ghana, through a 1-year project funded by the Alborada Research Fund (2013), entitled "The use of photocatalytic metal oxide nanoparticles for degrading oil spill- an innovative approach in environmental remediation".

Research Interests:

Maria's research interests include infectious diseases, host-pathogen interaction and immunology. These interests led her to study tuberculosis, Chagas disease and trichuriasis. Trichuriasis is a disease caused by infection with whipworms. Infection occurs via ingestion of whipworm eggs which, upon arrival to the gut, hatch and liberate larvae that burrows through the intestinal epithelium. Maria's research goal is to more fully understand the initial stages of the epithelia infection by the larvae, a crucial step that determines whether the worms are expelled or remain in the gut and cause chronic disease.
