Research topics

• The biology of antiviral RNA silencing in Aedes mosquitoes
• Cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the control arbovirus infections in Aedes mosquitoes
• Characterization of the natural virome of Aedes mosquitoes and its impact on vector competence

Role in NetRNA

The group will study cellular and molecular aspects of host defence mechanisms, such as RNA silencing, that play a role in the control of arbovirus infections in Aedes mosquitoes. In addition, the group will use RNA sequencing approaches to identify novel biological pathways that are involved in natural resistance to arboviruses observed in wild populations of Aedes mosquitoes. Finally, the group will further develop metagenomic strategies based on the production of virus-derived small RNAs within infected hosts to identify and analyze the virome of wild Aedes mosquitoes worldwide.
