Our Research Themes

Our research spans seven core research themes and a number of Shared Interest Groups, bringing together complementary researchers in an interdisciplinary manner to contribute research towards a common interest.

Host Parasite Interactions & Pathogenesis

  • Parasites are major causes of disease in humans and in animals. This research theme explores the interactions of parasites within their hosts along with the diseases they cause.
