Catteruccia Lab
In the Catteruccia lab, we are motivated by our conviction that no one should suffer from malaria and other vector-borne diseases. We conduct rigorous science to advance this common goal, while fostering a safe and vibrant environment of intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and fairness, where any form of discrimination is wholly rejected.
