Mark Brown, PI
I did my PhD on ants with Deborah Gordon, and a post-doc on bumblebee parasites with Paul Schmid-Hempel. Since 2002 I've led my own lab, first at Trinity College Dublin, and now at RHUL
Elaine Francoso, Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow
My research project - EVOBOMICS - is focused on understanding the evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial DNA in bumble bees
Alberto Linguadoca, PhD student
My PhD is focused on the effects of pesticides on bumblebees. My work is part of the PoshBee project, which supports healthy bee populations across Europe.
Morgan Morrison, PhD student
During my PhD I will be exploring pathogen spillover from honey bees to wild bees in conservation sites, and the potential impacts of citizen science to mitigate drivers of bee declines as part of the Safeguard project
Gail Turney, PoshBee Project Manager
My MSc explored the role of artificial bare soil scrapes as nesting habitat for solitary bees. With a background in project management I’m now part of the PoshBee project team.
Hannah Wolmuth-Gordon, PhD student
During my PhD I will be looking at the landscape epidemiology of parasites in bumblebees, including how they can be transmitted both within and between colonies
Viki Webster, PhD student
I'm really interested in how bees mitigate disease risk. I have done some research into both fever and corpse management in bees, a masters to develop modelling skills for my PhD, and now I'm investigating landscape epidemiology in parasites of bumblebees
