Thomas Churcher is Professor of Infectious Disease Dynamics at Imperial College London's School of Public Health. He leads research on malaria transmission control within the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis and Malaria Modelling Research Group. His laboratory actively investigates vector control strategies and climate impacts on disease spread.
His research encompasses three primary domains:
- Evaluating insecticide resistance in malaria vectors
- Developing novel vector control tools including genetically modified mosquitoes
- Assessing climate change impacts on transmission dynamics
Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on field validation of next-generation insecticide-treated nets and modeling approaches for malaria elimination. Collaborative work with WHO has produced decision-support tools for national malaria control programs.
He maintains extensive partnerships across disease-endemic countries including Burkina Faso and Cameroon. Current projects address invasive mosquito species threats and pandemic-related disruption of control programs.
