Microbial eukaryotes (protozoa) represent a major component of the biosphere, contributing to ecology, food security and the environment. Moreover, diseases caused by parasitic protozoa constitute an ongoing global threat to health and prosperity. My laboratory has made contributions that highlight many critical and key aspects of protist biology, principally focusing on parasitic organisms of the trypanosomatid group, but also extending into environmental organisms such as the algae Euglena and Diplonema. Research spans a wide gamut from environmental biology, through evolution, cell biology and drug development. My laboratory has also contributed towards understanding origins of the eukaryotic cell and in particular membrane trafficking and nuclear transport. In 2024 I was rated as a leading figure in molecular biology, with an h-index of 70 and placed as the 62nd most influential molecular biologist in the UK and 805th worldwide, with over 16 500 citations. I was awarded the British Society for Parasitology C.A. Wright medal in 2010 for recognition of outstanding contributions to parasitology.
