Ben Matthews is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Science, specializing in comparative physiology and mosquito behavior. His research explores how mosquito genomes encode adaptive behaviors like blood-feeding and egg-laying site selection.
- Aedes aegypti vector biology
- CRISPR genome editing techniques
- Mosquito neurobiology and sensory systems
- Arboviral disease transmission dynamics
The lab employs multidisciplinary approaches spanning genomics, neurobiology, and behavioral analysis. Recent publications focus on mosquito chemosensation, thermal sensing, and CRISPR methodology.
Scientific honors include:
- 2021 Scholar Award (Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research)
- 2021 Sloan Research Fellow
Current lab members include 12 graduate researchers conducting studies on mosquito sensory systems and vector behavior.
