معرفی
Catherine Walton is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Manchester. Her research focuses on molecular population genetics of mosquitoes and biodiversity in Southeast Asia, with applications to disease control and evolutionary biology. She has contributed to projects such as the 'Evolutionary mechanisms and dynamics' initiative and collaborated internationally on mosquito vector studies.
Education: Holds BSc and PhD degrees (exact institutions not specified in text).
Research Interests:
- Molecular genetics of mosquitoes
- Population dynamics of malaria and dengue vectors
- Conservation genetics and biodiversity
Recent Work Trends: Recent articles emphasize genetic analysis of mosquito populations, particularly in relation to disease control, conservation genetics, and historical environmental impacts. Key themes include Aedes aegypti colonization dynamics, Anopheles species diversity in India, and genetic mechanisms of insecticide resistance.
Awards:
- 2019: TIDE Award for innovative teaching in social responsibility
Grants & Labs: Involved in the 'Evolutionary mechanisms and dynamics' project (since 2016). Active in datasets related to Anopheles genomics and mosquito biodiversity.
Teaching & Outreach: Led Myanmar academic residential programs on biodiversity and environmental change, reflecting her commitment to global health education.
