My interests lie in fish health integrating behaviour, immunity and bioinformatics toward improving health in aquaculture. I approach this with an integrative suite of methods both experimental and theoretical spanning across the fields of behavioural ecology, evolution and immunity. This is underpinned by the application of state of the art -omics techniques including proteomics, transcriptome and microbiome and WGS supported within a proven bioinformatic strategy for assembly, annotation, analysis and network modelling. Throughout my career to date my major academic interest has become to explore how immunity has evolved and recently how environmental conditions, particularly temperature, modulate the plasticity of the immune response.
