معرفی
Cecilia Alsmark is a researcher affiliated with Newcastle University, focusing on genomics, parasitology, and horizontal gene transfer in microbial pathogens and eukaryotic parasites. Her work explores evolutionary mechanisms in organisms like Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis, and trypanosomatids, with a particular interest in lateral gene transfers and their impact on eukaryotic proteomes.
Research Interests:
- Comparative genomics of parasitic protozoa and microbial symbionts
- Evolutionary dynamics of horizontal gene transfer
- Genomic deterioration in intracellular pathogens
- Functional divergence of secretion systems in parasites
Key Publications: Spanning 2002–2015, her research includes studies on Rickettsia elements, Bartonella evolution, and protozoan parasite genomes. These works highlight trends in gene acquisition, loss, and adaptation.
