معرفی
Dr Tony Nolan is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London's Faculty of Natural Sciences and currently serves as a Senior Lecturer in Vector Biology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. His work focuses on molecular biology approaches to disrupt mosquitoes' ability to transmit diseases, particularly malaria via Anopheles species. He leads research in genetic control strategies like CRISPR-Cas9 gene drives and transgenic mosquito development for sterile insect techniques.
Research interests include genetics, public health, chemical sciences, biochemistry, ecology, and zoology with emphasis on mosquito genetics, insecticide resistance, and vector population dynamics. Nolan has contributed to groundbreaking studies on gene expression in Anopheles mosquitoes, Y chromosome evolution, and aminergic signaling disruption for pest control.
His interdisciplinary work spans synthetic biology (via Imperial's Centre for Synthetic Biology) and collaborations through the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's Vector Biology group. Nolan maintains affiliations with the DoLS emeritus program and Imperial's Malaria Network.
Labs/Teams: Active in Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's Vector Biology unit and collaborates with Imperial College's malaria-focused initiatives.
