Population genetics and comparative genomics of Anopheles mosquitoes with different feeding behaviours… anthropophiles. By performing tests of selection and assessing evolutionary patterns for >200…
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Vector Biology Lab in the School of the Environment. The main focus of my research is on the population genomics of Anopheles malaria vectors from Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. I am interested in understanding genetic and environmental processes …
Although many of my research interests are fundamental in nature, one of the benefits of working on mosquitoes is that there is plenty of potential for real world, tangible outcomes from my research. By understanding the population structure and evolution of mosquito vectors, we can learn how to bet …

Animals evolve… evolutionarily-conserved molluscan insulin-like peptide (Has-MIP), (2) a gastropod-specific…
Evolutionary and ecological genomics of marine invertebrate animals.
Animals evolve because their genomes need to respond to the constantly changing environment presented by both their external habitat and their internal microbial symbionts. Over evolutionary time, these different factors interact …

Dr Chan has a PhD in Genomics and Computational Biology from UQ. He underwent postdoctoral training at Rutgers University (USA) in algal genomics and evolution. He returmed to UQ in late 2011 as one of the inaugural Great Barrier Reef Foundation Bioinformatics Fellows.
Dr Chan joined the School of …
Chan has published 100 scholarly publications in the areas of microbial genomics, evolutionary biology, and bioinformatics. His research work continuously challenges the working hypotheses in evolutionary biology. This body of work demonstrates a single origin of Archaeplastida (Plantae), the founda …

Scott Beatson is an Associate Professor and NHMRC Career Development Fellow at The University of Queensland (UQ). He specializes in bacterial pathogenomics: using whole-genome sequencing to investigate transmission, pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Recent work from his group inclu …
In the past five years the Beatson Lab has focussed on clinically relevant pathogens and exploiting genomic technologies in the clinical setting. His group regularly reports the genome analyses of antibiotic resistant bacteria to the major tertiary hospitals in Brisbane as part of Queensland Genomic …

I have a keen interest in the evolutionary relationships that underpin symbioses, particularly those involved in plant disease. There are countless examples of how diseases have impacted on different crops throughout history, and this is an ongoing issue that deleteriously impacts food security. My …
I have led the Australian sugar industry in the management of ratoon stunting disease and chlorotic streak disease, and have had a pivotal role in developing diagnostic tests for bacterial diseases of mungbean. I developed a project that has led to improved potato production in the southern Philippi …

An ecologist by training – I hold a B.Sc. (Hons) in Marine Ecology from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington and a Ph.D. in Ecological Modelling from Griffith University. I am broadly interested in exploring new ways to (1) understand how natural communities are formed and (2) predict how …
My research is geared towards understanding how ecological communities, pathogen infection rates and pathogen emergence will change as climate change and human encroachment continue to alter natural environments. This work has generated translational benefits by helping to provide insights into fact …

The molecular evolution of cytochrome P450 Enzymes: biological catalysts of unprecedented versatility.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs, P450s) especially those responsible for drug metabolism in humans, are the unifying theme of the research in our lab. These fascinating enzymes are catalysts of exce …
Our research is leading to the development of more sustainable, environmentally friendly, chemical processes to accelerate drug development and improve the safety of medicines. Our studies into the evolution of catalytic promiscuity in P450s reveal how organisms have evolved to deal with chemicals i …
