Megan E. Meuti

Megan E. Meuti studies the biology of mosquitoes, focusing on how internal 'clocks' (circadian and seasonal timing systems) control behaviors like biting, reproduction, and winter dormancy (diapause). Her work combines molecular genetics (gene expression, CRISPR gene editing) with mosquito rearing and physiology to understand how species such as Culex pipiens and Aedes albopictus adjust to environmental cues like light and temperature. This research has relevance for understanding and potentially controlling disease-carrying mosquito populations.

Publication output has grown from a low base around 2017-2019 to a higher and somewhat variable rate since 2021, with peak years in 2021 and 2023 followed by continued steady activity through 2025-2026.
