Frank Jiggins

Professor of Evolutionary Genetics, Department of Genetics

Frank Jiggins studies the evolution and genetics of hosts and parasites. More specifically, looking at questions such as: which genes cause variation in susceptibility to infection and why is this variation maintained in populations? How does natural selection shape parasite and host genomes? What determines whether mosquitoes can transmit human disease? Learn more
