Consequently, we also have no good way to control rising tick populations.<br \/>\nOne possible control strategy is interfering with the tick&#8217;s ability to locate hosts. However, tick neurobiology has been strongly neglected. The sensory and neuronal abilities of ticks remain<br \/>\nmysterious. We aim to overcome this limitation and employ tools and assays to better understand<br \/>\nticks&#8216; sensory neurobiology.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: dinalternate-bold;\">Research Interests<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: din-regularalternate; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014<\/span> How do ticks find hosts, e.g., what does host-seeking in ticks look like?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014<\/span> What sensory (host-emitted) cues do ticks use to find hosts?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014<\/span> What sensory organs do they possess, and how are these sensory organs equipped<br \/>\n<span style=\"padding-left: 22px; font-size: 14pt; font-family: din-regularalternate; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\">to detect environmental cues?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014<\/span> What does the nervous system of ticks look like?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014<\/span> How are sensory signals integrated and processed in the tick brain?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: dinalternate-bold;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none;\">Group Members<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: din-regularalternate; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\">We are currently seeking interested and motivated young scientists (undergraduate and graduate students) to join our team.
