Matthew Brian Thomas

Matthew Brian Thomas is Professor of Biology at the University of York, where he leads research on vector-borne disease ecology and control. His work integrates field studies and laboratory assays to develop innovative disease intervention strategies.

Research focuses on malaria transmission dynamics, insecticide resistance evolution, and novel vector control methods. Key investigations include evaluating bed net efficacy against resistant mosquitoes and developing diagnostic tools for parasite detection in vectors.

Publications demonstrate strong field-to-lab research integration, with recent breakthroughs in monitoring malaria transmission indicators and assessing intervention impacts. His collaborative projects span multiple African countries and address critical challenges in global health.
