Research summary
AI-generated

Catherine A. Hill's research focuses on the biology and control of disease-carrying arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks, including how they transmit pathogens like viruses and malaria parasites. Her work spans genetics, genomics, and physiology of these vectors, as well as practical tools like repellents and barrier devices to reduce bites and disease spread. This research combines molecular biology techniques (such as gene expression and RNA interference studies) with applied pest and disease control strategies.
