We are based at the Radboud University Medical Center in beautiful Nijmegen, the Netherlands. If you’re interesting in joining the team, please contact Felix.

Felix Hol
Biophysically inclined mosquito enthusiast trying to understand why mosquitoes are so unbelievably good at transmitting pathogens (and devising ways to stop them).

Irene Arnoldi — postdoc figuring out how the mosquito mouthparts know where to find food

Theo Maire — postdoc building 4-star mosquito hotels to capture the mosquito life cycle on film

Felix Evers — postdoc integrating microfluidics and microscopy to better understand the malaria parasite

Zhong Wan — PhD student combining experiment and computation to unravel mosquito-pathogen interactions

Marianna Bacchi — PhD student exploring mosquito decision making in heterogenous environments

Vladyslav Kalyuzhnyy — Computer scientist combining machine learning and computer vision to understand mosquito behavior

Co-advised:

Sara Lynn Blanken — PhD student studying malaria epidemiology in the field and in slico. (Main advisor: Teun Bousema)

Maartje Inklaar — PhD student on a quest to find transmission-blocking vaccine candidates. (Main advisor: Matthijs Jore)
