Welcome to the DECODE Lab
Based in the School of Biological Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, the DECODE Lab investigates the complex world of disease epidemiology—with a strong foundation in parasitology.
Our core research focuses on:
- 🔬 Novel Diagnostics: Developing next-generation tools that help bridge the gap between the laboratory and the field.
- 🌍 Parasite & Vector Ecology: Deciphering how parasites interact with their hosts, vectors, and environments.
- 🔄 Co-Infection Dynamics: Unraveling what happens when parasites share a host with other parasites and pathogens.
