Microbial eukaryotes (protozoa) are 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 aspects of protist biology, principally focusing on parasitic organisms of the trypanosomatid group, but extending into environmental organisms such as the algae Euglena and protist Diplonema. Research has spanned a wide gamut from environmental biology, evolution, cell biology and drug development. My laboratory 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 71 and placed as the 62nd most influential molecular biologist in the UK and 805th worldwide, with 17 000 citations.
I was awarded the British Society for Parasitology Wright medal in 2010 in recognition of contributions to parasitology. I am currently working on a book to meld many of these interests.
