Welcome to the Chandrasegaran Lab!

Our research focuses on understanding the ecology and behavior of mosquitoes to address pressing public health challenges. We study how environmental factors like predator presence, resource availability, and urban conditions shape mosquito traits such as behavior, survival, and disease transmission potential. Our lab uses a combination of field studies, laboratory experiments, and computational approaches to uncover key insights into mosquito ecology. By understanding these complex interactions, we aim to develop innovative strategies for mosquito control and the prevention of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, West Nile virus, and malaria.
We are passionate about advancing mosquito research while training the next generation of scientists to tackle global health issues through multidisciplinary and impactful research.
