I am working on the Human-Mosquito Interaction Project (HMIP; https://h-mip.com/) funded by the European Research Council (ERC). I am carrying out laboratory work and analysis of human and mosquito DNA samples collected from research sites throughout Spain in order to better understand the human-mosquito networks through which mosquito-borne diseases pass. The results will help improve dynamic models of mosquito-borne disease and recommend targeted policy interventions for reducing disease risk in Europe and around the world. The laboratory work is conducted at the Spanish National Research Council’s Center for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC).

PROJECTS
The great heterogeneity in individual behavior as well as between different groups translates into a variability in human-mosquito interaction, and therefore in a variability in the risk of disease transmission. This relationship not only depends on the density of mosquitoes and people in an area but on many other factors.
