<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions are available in Alexander Raikhel’s Laboratory (Department of Entomology and IIGB; UC Riverside). My lab investigates the regulation of mosquito reproduction. Mosquitoes
are the most dangerous animals on the planet, transmitting disease pathogens that cause nearly 0.5 million deaths and millions of illnesses each year. Pathogen transmission is intimately linked to blood feeding that is required for reproduction. Presently,
we use CRISPR/CAS9 based techniques to delineate the role of the insulin network in regulating mosquito body size and metabolism. We are also working to understand the hormone-driven chromatin changes that regulate gene expression during mosquito reproductive
cycles. Finally, we are investigating how microRNAs affect mosquito reproductive cycles. My research is supported by NIH grants.
