#Introduction
I have a longstanding interest in identifying which genes the #malaria parasite needs to survive, and why. During my PhD I was involved in early genome-scale screens in #Plasmodium. Now, I'm delving into more detail on gene function at scale by building approaches for automated culture at #TheCrick.

Since the pandemic I have also got into #GenomicEpidemiology in a big way. I created https://taxonium.org, a tool for exploring million-sequence trees, amongst other things.
