Tim Anderson, Ph.D.

I received my undergraduate training in Zoology from Oxford University and a Masters in Medical Parasitology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, before moving to the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Rochester (New York State) for graduate school. Following postdoctoral work in Oxford and Milan, I moved to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) as the only parasite biologist in 1999. I have previously studied mice on the Orkney Islands, butterfly-ant symbioses in Australia, giant rats in New Guinea, Wolbachia endosymbionts in filarial nematodes, and roundworm transmission in Guatemalan villages, before focusing on the genetics and evolution of malaria and schistosome parasites.
