The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.

Our lab studies the microbial and viral ecology of marine and terrestrial species. We also conduct work specifically on marine conservation, aiming to better evaluate the unseen biodiversity of marine systems and to identify innovative solutions to the global declines of key marine species.
