Research group Group Emami
We work on infectious-disease biology with a focus on host-pathogen-vector signalling-communication. We provide a fundamental/quantitative description of communication in infection-biology/behaviour plasticity, and genetics towards the design of novel scientific technologies.

Group description
My group at Stockholm University combines computational and wet-lab activities to study host-pathogen interactions, with a particular interest in understanding the dynamics of vector-borne disease transmission and chemical communication between pathogen and host. The research in my group encompasses a spectrum of areas, from behavioural/infection biology of vector-pathogen-host interactions to fundamental research in chemical ecology & evolution. I established a collection of laboratories at a single location in MBW for vector-borne studies, including vector-pathogen interactions/transmission, analytical/chemical ecology, and animal behaviour studies using artificial membrane feeding system and cutting-edge 3D tracking. We also study the neuro-immune plasticity of vector using temporal transcriptomics combined with high-density spatial transcriptomics for in situ tissue profiling.
