She then commenced study for her doctorate at Indiana University Bloomingtonin the United States that was awarded in 2011.
[1] In 2019 she was appointed professor of evolutionary ecology at University of Oxford, UK.
[1] Her research into evolutionary biology makes use of host-parasite interactions between a wide range of microbial and eukaryotic parasites in both natural and laboratory situations.
[2] These have included systems that are relevant to diseases of humans such as malaria and dengue and may assist in their biological control.
[4][5] Her research applies theoretical models as well as laboratory methods including genomics to study the interactions.
